  • How Tutoring Works

    You must be prepared and ready to actively participate in your tutoring appointment. Have specific concepts or questions to ask your tutor. Speak up if your tutor is going too fast or slow, and don’t be afraid to say you still don’t understand something. Be sure to take notes during your tutoring session so you can review them later. If you cannot attend your tutoring appointment, please cancel it online.
