"The tutor provoked me to
study hard, learn the material, and pass the course.
She volunteered her time to give me extra help. I
never left a session without an understanding of
what I was doing."
--TRIO SSS Participant comment about tutor |
Tutoring is one
service offered that many TRIO SSS participants benefit from throughout
their course of study. Tutors are assigned based
upon the ability of the participant to benefit from tutoring, the
availability of funding, and the availability of a qualified tutor.
The
Tutor Request Form and the
Tutor
Application Form are also available outside of our office located
in
Ellington, Room 337.
Request a Tutor
If
you are a TRIO SSS participant and would like a tutor,
come to the Ellington 337 and ask for a
Tutor Request Form. This
form is also available on this
website. Be sure to fill out both pages of the form,
indicating clearly when you are available to be tutored
and when you have classes. Come to the Ellington
building and give the form to a staff member. The Tutor
Coordinator will receive the form and examine your
schedule and talk to the tutors to find someone who can
work with you. You will be contacted as soon as a tutor
is found and times appear workable. If one week has
passed and you have not been contacted, you are asked to
call the TRIO SSS office at 931-221-6142 and speak to
the Tutor Coordinator.
If
you are already officially in the TRIO SSS Program,
requesting a tutor is usually as easy as coming to the
Program office, filling out the Tutor Request Form, and
talking with the Tutor Coordinator all on the same
day.
Sometimes a request is made for a subject area with
which we do not have a qualified tutor. In that case,
we will do our best to search for a qualified tutor and
contact you as soon as one is available. We ask that
you call back after two weeks and speak with the Tutor
Coordinator to check on the status of the tutor search.
Be a Tutor
We
are currently searching for persons qualified to tutor
remedial, developmental, and core courses. We hire
tutors with a flexible schedule on an as-needed basis.
Helping students at TRIO Student Support Services as a
mentor and as a tutor will enhance your resume and
provide excellent interpersonal skill development
opportunities.
If
you would like to be a tutor, please bring your social
security card and drivers license to Ellington 337 and
ask to fill out a
Tutor Application. This
form
is also available on this website. Make an appointment
with a staff member to speak with the Tutor Coordinator.
