Subject Area Tutoring Programs Study Smarter!

Hello, Most-Amazing Tutors!

Hard to believe, but there’s only one more week of classes!  Perhaps even harder to believe, I only have a few things to share with you this week.

1.  The last day of tutoring is the last day of class, December 9.  You will not be paid for any tutoring hours completed after this date.

2. ASP is hosting a stress reliever event open to the entire UVM community Thursday, December 9.  Join us in the fireplace lounge from 4:00-6:30 for stretching, massages, free tea and snacks, yoga, meditation, coloring, and therapy dogs!

3. I’m sure you haven’t forgotten, but our MANDATORY spring meeting will be held in L/L CM 315 from 7:00-9:00 pm on January 17.  See you there!

4.  If you’re schedule for next semester is set and you’d like to tutor in the Learning Co-op, set-up a time to meet with me and we can talk about scheduling your Co-op hours.

Good luck on all of your end of semester papers, projects, and exams!

All the very best,
Rachel

Hello, Tutors!

There are a few things to be aware of as the semester races to a close.

1. The last day of tutoring is the last day of classes (December 9).  Unless you are a group leader or an SI Leader holding an exam review session, there are no exceptions to this rule.  You will not be paid for any tutoring completed after the last day of classes.

2. Our MANDATORY All-Tutor meeting will be held on Monday, January 17 from 7:00-9:00 pm.  Make sure to clear your schedules of any conflicts as soon as possible!

3. As always, we still have a number of requests for tutors.  If you would like to tutor for any of these courses, please obtain a faculty recommendation by emailing your professor this link: <http://www.uvm.edu/~learnco/sat/facrec/> and send me an email to let me know.  Thanks!

Hello, Tutors–

Not much new to share with you this week.  I hope your midterms all turned out exceptionally and you are finally getting a bit of a break.  At this point in the semester, you have helped to provide 1,118 tutoring sessions totaling 954 hours of tutoring with 462 different students across campus!  Thanks you for all of your hard work so far this semester!

Just a reminder, the absolute last day of tutoring is the last day of classes: December 9, 2010.  No tutoring sessions should be scheduled after this date.

Finally, as always, I have my list of tutor requests.  If you are interested, shoot me an email and send the faculty recommendation form to your professor.  Thanks!

Greetings, Tutors–

First announcement for the week is that the next pay period ends this weekend.  Be sure to submit your hours on PeopleSoft and log all sessions in TutorTrac.  To make sure that everything is all set, you can run a report in TutorTrac.  Click on the “reports” link on the left side bar and choose scheduling.  Under the scheduling menu, choose “appointments/students by.”  If you are missing any appointments, you can add them in and if there are errors, email me and let me know what changes to make to fix it.

Last pay period, there were a number of problems approving time.  By talking to you (and thank you all for being so patient and helpful in discovering this problem!) I was able to contact TutorTrac with the problem and have learned that there is a difference between what is labeled and recorded in TutorTrac as an appointment, and what is labeled and recorded as a visit.  Appointments are only those sessions scheduled in the Co-op.  There is a small box at the bottom of the lognote that asks if this appointment should be “linked to a visit.”  Please choose yes by checking the box.  This means that when students sign in at the kiosk, as they are supposed to do, TutorTrac will link the scheduled appointment to this student’s arrival.  This will make the records TutorTrac generates more accurate.

We have been approached by Athletics to provide a drop-in group tutoring session for Anatomy and Physiology for athletes on Sunday evenings.  Would anyone be interested in leading these sessions?  They are looking for someone to start as soon as possible–this weekend if you can!– so if you are interested, let me know!

Finally, we have a list of tutor requests.  If you have taken the course, gotten a B+ or better, and want to tutor for it, email the link for a faculty recommendation and shoot me an email to let me know you’re interested.  That link again is: http://www.uvm.edu/~learnco/sat/facrec/
