Welcome back!

Posted by Subject Area Tutoring in Uncategorized.

Welcome back! I hope that the break has been good to each of you. Another semester is upon us!

I have tried to make changes to the email list as I’ve heard from tutors. I am sure I’ve missed a couple of you, though. If you’re not planning to continue tutoring, or if you are have gone/are going abroad, please let me know so I can remove you.

If you do plan on tutoring, you will need to attend one of the two following meetings:

  • Tuesday, January 13, 7:30 in L/L Commons 216
  • Wednesday, January 14, 5:15 in L/L Commons 216

If you are unavailable during both of those times, let me know, and we’ll find something else that works.

At the meeting, we will review basic procedures, courses, and scheduling, among a few other things. It will be paid time, and it will be brief.

Tutoring begins on TUESDAY, JANUARY 20. Please wait to schedule appointments with students until then.

If you have any questions or concerns, let me know. Otherwise, I hope to see you all next week!

Thanks,
Keith
