The Tutor Code


We do...

 · explain concepts that students have difficulty understanding.
· use alternate methods and examples to explain content and help students understand
· help students identify patterns in their speaking and writing
· share successful study strategies based on experience and training.
· believe a student’s work should reflect his or her own ability—not yours.
· give positive reinforcement - help students become more confident in their own abilities.
· keep careful records of each student-tutor contact.
· honor the confidentiality of the tutor-client relationship.
· help students become more independent as they go along


We do not...


· do assignments for students
· simply “ edit” a student’s work (vs. helping them to see areas of improvement)
· assist in take-home exams.
· grade assignments or discuss assigned grades.
· attempt to judge the acceptability of work from the instructor's point of view.
· comment on an instructor's grading policy, teaching style, or personality.
· discuss a client's achievements or abilities with faculty or other students.
