Tutor Responsibilities
Tutors are expected to create an atmosphere conducive to learning.
Be Honest. If you are unsure of the material or are stuck, look up the answer or seek assistance. Do not be afraid to say that you do not know the answer.
Tutors are expected to encourage tutees to become independent learners.
Tutors may discuss assignments with their tutees and even suggest study techniques that may help in completing them, but under no circumstances are tutors to actually do for the tutee projects, homework assignments, or papers.
Tutors should, whenever possible, help the tutee to develop and reinforce necessary study skills. Tutors may use various instructional strategies and techniques, or additional resources that may be helpful in assisting tutee to master course and personal objectives.
Tutors are expected to assist tutees in realizing their full potential without threat or embarrassment. Avoid insulting or derogatory remarks to the tutee about his performance during a session and about the instructional program or individual instructors.
Tutoring may take place in any public site on campus. Dorm rooms, apartments, fraternity or sorority houses or other locations with restricted entry are not considered to be public sites.
Behavior which is deemed to be either discriminatory or harassing, whatever its basis,including, but not limited to, gender, race, ethnicity, religious or sexual preference, age, class or major, will not be tolerated by the Advising and Learning Assistance Center.
