Subject Area Tutoring Programs Study Smarter!

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

Hello, Tutors–

A few last minute reminders as the semester comes to a close.

TODAY is the last day of tutoring.  You may not schedule any tutoring appointments through the Learning Co-op after today.

The next deadline for payroll approval is Sunday, May 13.  Please be sure to have all of your hours for the semester entered by this date.  Paychecks will be issued Friday May 4 and Friday May 18.  Please make sure to pick up your paychecks before leaving campus.  If you will have left campus before the last check is issued, please let me know and we can work out a way for it to be mailed to you.

If you’ll be a round for the summer and would like to do some tutoring, let me know.  We post our list of summer tutors on the Learning Co-op website.  Students will contact you directly to set-up private tutoring: you set your own hours and rate of pay.

We are celebrating all of your hard work tomorrow from 2:00-4:00 pm in the L/L Fireplace Lounge.  There is free food, games, healing touch, and special recognition for seniors.  Please RSVP so we can be prepared and stop in tomorrow.  We want to see you and say goodbye before you leave for the summer!

Please complete the SI and Subject-Area Tutoring Program evaluations.  Your feedback will be hugely important as we plan for next Fall.

Hello, Tutors–

I’m sure I don’t need to remind you that there is only about a week and a half left of classes this semester.  I may have to remind you, however, that the LAST DAY of TUTORING is WEDNESDAY, MAY 2.  No tutoring appointments may be scheduled after May 2.

The final payroll submission deadline for this semester is SUNDAY, APRIL 29.  You will receive your last paycheck on Friday, May 4.  (If you work hours the week of April 30-May 4, your final paycheck will be issued on Friday, May 18.  It can be mailed to you if you will already be gone for the summer, just let us know where it needs to go.)

As a thank-you for all of the amazing work you have done this semester, the Learning Co-op and Academic Support Programs is hosting a student staff-appreciation event just for you on Thursday, May 3 from 2:00-4:00 pm in the Fireplace Lounge in L/L!  Please RSVP online.

SI Leaders and Drop-In tutors interested in holding final exam reviews after May 2, please let me know no later than Wednesday, April 25 what date and time you would like to hold sessions.  Our final exam review session schedule must be completed by May 1.  Thanks!

As one last reminder, if you tutor in the Co-op, please be mindful of where our furniture is located to be accessible to all students who use our space and please do not move chairs between cubicles.

Best,
Rachel

Somehow we find ourselves in the middle of April, with only a week and a half of classes left in the semester.  Whoa.  There’s some stuff we should talk about.

#1: The LAST DAY OF TUTORING is WEDNESDAY, MAY 2.  The same as the last day of classes.  No appointments may be scheduled after this date.  If you wish to hold a group session for an exam review, (SI Leaders, you too) please let me know the preferred day and time no later than Friday, April 20.

#2: I know this is a busy time of year, but if you have signed up for Co-op availabilities you are expected to honor these appointments.  The weeks in preparation for finals are some of our busiest times, and to provide the best service for students we must be able to provide our Co-op hours.  Unless there is an emergency, I will not cancel or remove any availabilities from the Co-op schedule from now until the end of the semester.

#3: If you will be around this summer and are interested in tutoring, please let me know.  While the Co-op is not officially open during the summer months, we will post a list of tutors in the area available for private tutoring on our website.

#4: We have received requests for tutors in the following courses and do not currently have any tutors on our active list able to meet these requests.  If you are able to tutor one of these courses, please let me know ASAP.

NFS 163, NR 140 and SOC 014

Enjoy the sunshine this weekend!

Best,
Rachel

One: Our resume-building workshop with Career Services in tonight from 5:30-7:00 in L/L CM 315. I know you’re enjoying the sunshine, but bring your resume (or the blank piece of paper masquerading as your resume) over tonight for some expert advice.

Two: Would anyone be interested in leading a regular study group for EC 012?

Three: I have received requests for tutors in the following classes.  If you would like to tutor any of these courses, please let me know ASAP so I can match you with the student:
