How to Best Prepare For Your Session

Have Your Material Ready: Our tutors may need to reference textbooks and class notes during the session. Therefore, it's essential to have your course materials on hand, including your textbook and class
Identify Your Goals: Before your session, take a moment to reflect on what specific challenges or topics you'd like to address with your peer tutor. This will help streamline your session and make it more tailored to your needs.
Ask Questions: Don't hesitate to ask questions and seek clarification during your tutoring session. Our peer tutors are here to assist you, and no question is too big or small.

Psych Tutor Guidelines:

The tutors CANNOT simply answer your homework problems for you. The tutors will guide you through the problem by suggesting things to try or asking you questions.
Do not give a list of homework problems for tutors to solve for you. Not following this guideline might constitute in some cases a violation of the Honor Code.
Please clearly state the problem(s) you are trying to solve and provide as much context as possible, so the tutors can fully understand your questions and provide the most help to you.
