Student Comments from 2009-10 tutor evaluations
Why Might My Request Go Unfulfilled?
- Some requests may not be filled if a student tutor can not be hired for that subject matter
- Or if you request individual tutoring. ASAP is only able to offer small group tutoring five students or less
Why Might I be Dropped From a Group
- A student is dropped from a group if he/she fails to provide 24 hour notice of absence and/or he/she does not show for the group 3 times
Tutor Eligbility and Evaluation
- Upper-division students
- Must have a 3.0 GPA in the subject matter
- Students evaluate tutors twice a semester
What Parents Should Know About Tutoring
While parents may think they are assisting their student in completing the tutor request forms, often their students have other plans about their needs. So before you sign up your student, consult with them and ensure that your student completes the tutoring forms.
