Greetings, tutors!
It’s only week two, but I already have many wondrous and exciting things to share with you!
First, I’d like to extend a warm welcome to all of our new tutors. We’re certainly glad to have you on board and if there is anything I can do to help make the transition easier, please don’t hesitate to let me know. I love to get emails from all of you, and to have you stop by my office in the Learning Co-Op.
#1: I have been informed by the powers-that-be that tutortrac is up and running. We hope without too many complications, confusions, or confrontations. You’ll find tutortrac at and will be able to use it to view your Co-Op schedule, complete lognotes, and record campus-wide tutoring sessions.
#2: The first day of tutoring is Monday, September 13. Who’s pumped? I know I am… After Monday, you’ll be able to make Campus-wide appointments and will begin to have appointments scheduled for you if you work as a Co-Op based tutor.
#3: Our MANDATORY all-tutor meeting is scheduled for Sunday, September 26 at 7 pm in L/L CM 315. If you will be unable to make it, I expect to hear from you soon.
#4: I have attached a copy of the most current Co-Op schedule. If you would like to claim hours in the Co-Op, take a look at the schedule and email me which of the available times you would like to cover. Many of you have sent me hours of availability and I have done my best to accommodate these requests, but please double check to ensure the schedule is set to your liking. If anything needs amending, let me know and I’ll be happy to fix it for you if I can.
#5: If you have been hired but have yet to attend training, Dani Walsh will be holding one more session this week; Sunday evening from 4-6 pm. She will also be holding additional trainings next week and will be in contact with those of you still needing to attend directly.
#6: We have a long list of requests for tutors. If you are able to tutor any of these courses, please email me and also obtain a faculty recommendation using our online form http://www.uvm.edu/~learnco/sat/facrec/

Whew…that was a lot to process. Thanks for your patience! I hope you all are having a great time back at UVM.
Cheers,
Rachel
