Tutors,

I hope everyone is having a great week. I know it’s getting crazy around here with exams and everything else. It’s pretty hard to believe that a month of the semester has already flown by.

Advice for the day: if your schedule is getting crazy, and you’re getting too many requests for tutoring, group them up! You can meet with two or more students for the same course at the same time. This allows you to help more students without committing any more of your time. If anyone has questions about how to do this, or needs help making arrangements, let me know.

Courses in need of tutors: PBIO 185, CDAE 061, BSAD 132, BIOC 205
Let me know if you might be able to tutor any of these courses.

Remember: the Tutor Blog (http://blog.uvm.edu/subtutor/) has a variety of resources for tutors, including attendance sign in sheets for group sessions, the hour submission deadlines, as well as instructions for using PeopleSoft or TutorTrac. Be sure to look there if you need anything.

Thanks,
Keith

I hope everyone is well, and I hope everyone is having success in both your classes as well as your tutoring. I have one important reminder this week:

COMMUNICATE PROMPTLY AND CLEARLY. We have had some complaints about tutors not responding to emails, or taking many days to do so. My expectation is that you respond to an email, whether from me or from a student, within 24 hours. If you are having trouble keeping up with communication because of your schedule, please talk about it with me.

Courses in need of tutors: GEOG 040, PBIO 185, CDAE 061, ASTR 005, BCOR 102. Get in touch with me if you can tutor any of these courses.

There are still openings in the tutor schedule here in the Co-op. If anyone would like to be considered for Co-op hours, please come in to talk to me about it, or send me an email.

For Chinese tutors: we have a private tutor request from the parent of an international exchange high school student. If you have interest in tutoring a high school student in Chinese, contact me for the details.

Best of luck on that first round of exams.

Thanks,
Keith
