One-on-one tutoring is the most
common type of tutoring. Students work individually with a tutor
to discuss course related questions, concerns, or study strategies.
Since tutoring sessions are customized to the specific needs of
the student, he/she should come prepared with questions so the
available time can be used efficiently.
Group tutoring occurs in one of
two ways. Because many students find group sessions productive,
two or more students in the same class can schedule back-to-back
or concurrent appointments with a tutor. This can be done on a
one time basis or can be reoccurring. In addition, the LAL sometimes
schedules group tutoring sessions for a class. Information regarding
these sessions are given during class and students are not required
to make an appointment to attend.
On-line tutoring is available in
selected classes. Students in these classes are provided with
directions on how to get on-line help.
