Tutoring @ TJ’s

Recruiting is starting…and besides me and your professors asking students to tutor, you all can talk it up with your classmates. You guys know what being up here really involves. Be thinking of which of your fellow students would be good up here. Who would appreciate more opportunities to learn? …more insight into both the course content and the learning process that you all have developed while working at TJ’s?

Hello everyone! As an “veteran” science major I fell it is my duty to help out those just starting out! As a tutor I can offer my experiences and my knowledge to anyone seeking advice. Also, I believe communicating with profs is the best way to facilitate learning however, everyone seems to be a little intimidated or hesitant to do this. As a tutor, I can asure nervous students that profs don’t bite! Also, I can offer hope to any struggling student. I was there once too. And, last but least, I tutor because it keeps me fresh with past material.    

We are producing a handout with a blurb about each program, and that’s what I’d like your input on… Here’s a draft. What else should we include??? It has to stay short, always hard for moi. CHANGES IN BOLD.
Peer educators at TJ’s: Tutors are specialists who work within their majors or minors with courses they’ve taken and the professors they know teaching them. Tutors help students adjust reflect on their own and others’ learning styles and strategies to better help students adjust to course demands–tests, homework, papers, etc. Writing consultants are generalists, expert readers who talk with writers across the curriculum at any stage of the writing process, from brainstorming a topic to structuring an argument to editing a final draft. Both groups earn academic credit for training courses and pay for time spent helping students. Both groups offer six hours of appointments a week, in a very flexible schedule. Some tutors are busier than others; writing consultants are often booked solid from after mid-terms on.
