Participant Roles - Student

First and foremost the student needs to make a commitment to work with the tutor. Ideally the student will initiate the request for help, having been informed that help is available. In addition, the student should:

• Show up on time for meetings with their tutor, and let the tutor know if they will be unable to do so.

• Tell their tutor what they are having problems with and generally help the tutor to help them.

• Let their teacher know that they are getting tutoring help and help the tutor to coordinate efforts with the teacher.

• Work with the tutor and teacher to establish objectives for tutoring - what do you want to accomplish?

• Be honest and realistic about the amount of work you are ready to do outside the tutoring sessions to help reinforce your learning. If you say you're going to do some exercises, do them. If you won't do them, don't say you will.

• Provide feedback to the school coordinator and to the tutor to let them know how the tutoring is working.
