Hello, all tutors and SI leaders–

Only a few quick reminders for you this week.

1. The current pay period will end this Sunday at midnight.  Please be sure to have all of your hours logged in PeopleSoft and sessions recorded in TutorTrac by midnight on Sunday.  Group and SI Leaders, please be sure to hand in your paperwork by noon on Monday.  TutorTrac be working properly but, as always, if you run into a problem shoot me an email to let me know.

2. I have updated the tutoring blog with information and resources.  I also post these weekly emails there so you can go back to them whenever.  Take a look! http://blog.uvm.edu/subtutor/

3. SI Leaders, just a quick reminder that newly hired leaders will be observing your sessions this month as part of their training.  I’ll let you know ahead of time when you’ll have a guest.

4. We have a received a couple of requests for tutors during the summer.  The Learning Co-op is not open during the summer, but if you are in town and would like to work as a private tutor, let me know.  We will post your name, contact information, and areas of expertise on our website.  Students interested in a tutor for the summer can get in touch with you directly to schedule meetings and arrange compensation.

5.  Finally, we still have a couple of tutor requests to fill.  If you have taken any of the following classes and would like to add them to your repertoire, let me know as soon as possible.

Webspiration Online Paper Planning

Posted by Subject Area Tutoring in Additonal Resources, Current Tutors, Food for Thought.

Hey Hey Hey–

It’s that time of year when you’ll have lots of tests to take and papers to write.  The website “Webspiration” (http://www.mywebspiration.com/) is a great resource for brainstorming, outlining, and researching papers.  You can upload or insert citations from programs like EndNote and transform a full color web into an orderly outline with just the click of a button.  It’s great for visual learners and anyone working on a long-term project.

Happy writing!

On-Line Flashcards

Posted by Subject Area Tutoring in Additonal Resources, Current Tutors, Food for Thought.

Hello, tutors–

As I am sure many of you already know, there are countless study tools available for you on the internet.  For yourself, or for the students with whom you work, I suggest you take a look at Quizlet (http://quizlet.com/).  You are able to create your own online flashcards, then play games using the terms and definitions you have provided and practice with short answer, multiple choice, and true/false exams it generates from the material you type in.  It will even read your flash cards to you!  If you have the time, check it out!
