In-Person Tutoring

    • How to Access In-Person Tutoring

      STEP 1 - Register

       
      • Go to your portal class registration page and add the ASAC tutoring CRN that corresponds to the course/s that you are seeking tutoring in.
      • If you receive a "duplicate" error message during registration, re-enter the tutoring CRN(s) you want to register to override the error. 
      • Registering for tutoring is done on a semester-basis. Tutoring CRNs are non-credit and will not affect your GPA.

    • Student-Tutor Expectations
      • Students are expected to have their course materials related to the assignment ready. These include: assignment sheets, textbooks, class notes, and class syllabus.

      • Tutors will provide suggestions on how to improve the students' work or will guide students on how to solve problems. Tutors will not, however, do the students' assignment.

      • In addition to content support, tutors may cover study skills strategies as needed.

      • To promote independent learning, students are entitled to up to 30 minutes per session. Students are not permitted to have back-to-back sessions. Students who just finished a session must wait at least 30 minutes before signing up again for another session.

      • All students are required to abide by Mt. SAC's Standards of Conduct Policy and failure to do so may result in disciplinary action such as removal from the virtual tutoring room and/or suspending access to ASAC's online tutoring services. 
    • Maximizing Your Tutoring Sessions
      • Come prepared for your tutoring sessions with all the needed materials.

      • Get tutoring early and often to avoid falling behind in class.

      • Review your assignment and have your questions ready before your tutoring session.

      • Set realistic goals you want to accomplish. Tutors will not do the work for you, but they can help you get better at doing it yourself.

      • Actively participate in the tutoring session and work with the tutor to identify and clarify areas that need strengthening.
