| Do's and Don't Do's | Workshops/Study Groups |

DO’s:

• Be prepared for the tutorial session by knowing the course to be tutored and the topics that may be covered. 

ACF 90 or ACF 92:  see Mrs. Fisher so you can be enrolled for Blackboard
ACF 94: go to www.bloomfield.edu/tutorial and click on the link “ACF 94  Website”
MTH 110:  see Mrs. Fisher
ACF 88, MTH 113 and recitation: see Mr. Emmanuel Ankrah
English Conversational Workshops: see Ms. Haley, Ms. Alex DellaFera, or Ms. Gina Eloy.

• Come with all the necessary paperwork such as the tutor evaluation form, student evaluation form, and no show form. 
• The forms you submit must be filled out completely and accurately.
• The forms must be submitted by the end of your work day.
• If you meet with a student for the first time and the student comes to the session without knowing the course title/number and/or instructor, then at the end of the session escort the student to the front desk to find out the information.  If you meet with the same student and he/she still does not know the information, then inform the student to go get the information, and when he/she returns you will tutor them in the time remaining in the session.
• Proofread your reports for grammar and spelling errors.  Remember that the tutorial evaluation you fill out will go to the student’s instructor.  This will leave a good or bad impression about you, as well as CAD.

• When meeting with a student for the first time, introduce yourself and state that you are Peer Mentor Tutor.  Also, briefly discuss your role as a tutor.
• Discuss with the student the topic that needs to be addressed during this tutorial session.
• Allow the student to “work out” the problems for themselves as much as you can.
• Use supplemental worksheets for additional examples to demonstrate problems to the students.
• Mentor the students in study skills such as notebook organization, note-taking methods, punctuality, and so forth.  If needed, ask the student to make another appointment to cover study skills and not subject content.

DON’Ts:

• Do not come to a tutorial session without scrap paper, pen/pencil, and supplemental materials.
• Do not come to a tutorial session without the necessary paperwork to complete.
• Do not submit any paperwork that has not been completed or proofread.
• Do not complete all the problems presented by the student.
• Do not continue a session if the student refuses to take an active part in the session or becomes confrontational.
• Do not miss an opportunity to mentor the students so that he/she can become more independent learners.
• Do not gossip with the student.
• Do not leave Voorhees Hall if you do not have a tutorial session.  Your hours are contract hours.  You can use this time to review any materials for other tutorial sessions or workshops.
