Tutoring Services - Academic Support and Success -BOB彩票

The concept behind tutoring services at Jacksonville State University is to model high-quality, effective academic skills, provide content-specific supplemental instruction, and create a connection to the institution. Tutors must combine their content knowledge with empathy, honesty, hard work, humility, and humor. A tutor should possess a passion for the teaching and learning process. A tutor’s goal is to help students LEARN to help themselves and to assist or guide students to the point at which they become independent learners.

What is Tutoring?

Tutoring is about more than helping a student with homework. Tutoring is a service provided that ultimately helps students become independent, active learners. As a tutor, you are helping students develop skills that will help them learn on their own so that they can be academically successful. Your responsibility is to guide the student to their own understanding.

Student Expectations

Students should attend tutoring sessions prepared with books, notes, attempted homework, questions, supplies, syllabi, past quizzes, etc.
Students should be as specific as possible about what they are hoping to achieve during the tutoring session. Ask questions and listen to suggestions.
Students should attempt homework on their own before bringing it to a tutor to help; a tutor cannot complete homework for students.
Students should understand that tutors are not required to complete homework assignments or reteach course content during tutoring sessions.
Students should be respectful to all tutors, students, and SSC facilities.
Students should be active participants during the tutoring session.

Tutor Expectations

Be punctual, supportive, and professional
Answer questions to the best of their abilities
Work WITH students, not for students
Be knowledgeable about other available campus resources that can assist students
Set clear expectations about the session and encourage students to be independent learners
Offer a positive attitude and be respectful diverse perspectives and learning styles
Tutors do NOT correct your homework, projects, OR take-home exams. They will provide useful comments and suggestions to help foster independent learning.
Tutors do NOT try to predict what a student’s grade will be on an assignment and cannot speak for the instructor. Students should ask their instructors for any clarification on an assignment/grade.
