Tips for Using Online Tutoring
Before logging in:
- Get your questions ready in advance to budget your 8 hours, and log off when your questions are answered. The clock starts ticking as soon as you log on.
- Check for technical system requirements. Will your computer meet the needs for the system? Do you need to perform any system updates? Do you have a good internet connection?
- Ask questions! If you have any troubles with using the system or have technical difficulties, seek out help immediately.
- Prepare for the session to use your time effectively. Read all assignments/notes, attempt problems, write down questions.
- Have available all books, notes, handouts, course syllabus and any necessary materials or supplies.
- Be on time for scheduled appointments.
During an online tutoring session:
- Expect to do your own work. Just like in-person tutors, Brainfuse tutors will guide, explain, and support, but you will be expected to do the work.
- Students are expected to follow the Madison College Code of Conduct when tutoring. Please be respectful. Any violation may result in suspension of tutoring services and/or further investigation.
