Student Name *
I understand that peer tutoring appointments are offered on-campus and online (depending on tutor availability). However, peer tutoring follows the University's current health and safety guidelines and may change modalities if necessary. *
Required
IMPORTANT FOR ONLINE TUTORING: I understand that online tutoring is offered on Zoom. I understand that unless there are extenuating circumstances, I will be expected to have both my video and sound on for tutoring. If you have any questions or concerns about online tutoring, please contact Megan Penyack in advance of your session. *
Be Prepared: For each session, I will have all necessary books, assignments, handouts, notes, calculators, etc. I will have questions ready and will have attempted to complete my homework assignments to the best of my ability. *
Required
Be mindful of scheduling: I understand that I may only schedule up to 2 hours of tutoring with the same tutor in one day and up to 4 hours of tutoring with the same tutor per week. I understand that I should also be meeting with my professor(s) during office hours if I have questions/concerns in a course. *
Be on Time: Life happens! However, If I cannot make it or I am running late, I will make every effort to cancel my appointment on Navigate. I can also call Megan Penyack at 978-542-6717. I understand that simply not showing up to an appointment is disruptive to the tutor and other students who could have used my time slot. Excessive last-minute cancellations or no shows may result in not being able to use tutoring for the semester. *
Required
Be aware of the tutor's role: A peer tutoring appointment is not a replacement for attending class or meeting with the professor. A tutor's role is to help facilitate a student's learning (break information down into smaller parts, review material, provide examples, guided problem solving, etc.). It is not the tutor's role to re-lecture, give answers, or do homework with the student. Therefore, I will avoid asking tutors to work directly with graded homework or take home exams, though we can focus on reviewing the concepts being assessed. *
Required
Be respectful: I will act respectfully during tutoring sessions through my language and actions and will expect the same from my tutor. I understand that I and my tutor are subject to the Salem State Student Conduct Code. *
Required
Be courteous: I will contact my tutor only when necessary (ex: running late, confirming location). I will not contact my tutor to ask for help with course material or to schedule appointments. Please keep in mind tutors are students just like you and only get paid for the time they spend with students in scheduled tutoring appointments. *
Required
I realize my success in this course is my responsibility. However, if I have a concern about my tutoring session, I know I can reach out to Megan Penyack (mpenyack@salemstate.edu; 978-542-6717) to discuss this concern. *
