Finding things that help you be a great tutor!
TUTOR TOYS
In first two drawers, of the Tutor Hub cabinet, you will your
nametag and banana sheet. In the bottom drawer, you will find
materials to use creatively in your sessions: balls, note cards,
pumpkins and candy (when we can!), math manipulatives,
rocks, chemistry models etc.
TEXTBOOKS
Sometimes your client forgets his/her textbook. Or maybe you
need to review one to bone up on a topic. Check out the
textbook cabinet. Some of these books are teacher editions
and solutions manuals. Be sure to use those with discretion.
LAPTOPS
You can use a laptop to access D2L for the client or to
pull up on-line homework or to review a cool website
you know or to work on a paper. Check it out at the
Welcome Desk. Students cannot personally check these
out without a tutor present.
DATA PROJECTORS
You can use a data projector to display a Jeopardy game (We
will show you how) or show a YouTube video or part of a film.
Check it out at the Welcome Desk. We will show you how to set
up the equipment. If your group meets in Landing or AARC
Room A,E or M, you will have a projector already in the room.
MINI BOARDS
Grab one and use for your session. They adjust by
loosening the joints at the left and right of the
board. Markers and mitts and bottles of cleaner
are all around the AARC. Do not lean on them.
THE WORKROOM
Here you can work, study, and eat. We have a
microwave and a fridge!
COPIER

YOUR HANDOUTS MUST BE LIMITED TO ONE HANDOUT (PRINTED ON FRONT AND BACK) PER ONE HOUR SESSION.
PRINT NO MORE THAN 50 COPIES AT A TIME SO THAT:
Others may have a turn
Copier does not overheat or jam
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO REPAIR PAPER JAMS. REPORT PROBLEM TO WELCOME DESK.
Tip: Don't wait until right before SI to print. The morning is a great time to print!
MARKERS AND MITTS
In the workroom, you will find a bookshelf with markers
and mitts for you to use in the classroom or at a dry
erase board in the AARC commons.
CUTTING BOARD
In the workroom, there is a cutting board where you can cut SI Handouts
into halves or quarters.
COMPUTERS
The computers in the workroom are for you to use to prepare
for SI, to add/drop (will explain later), to pull up TutorTrac (will
explain later) to check for an email from AARC. Of course you
can use them for your personal use as well as an AARC tutor
perk!
ATTENDANCE SLIPS
Sometimes a client will ask you for a “attendance slip.” It means that
the client needs written verification that he or she was at the AARC for
tutoring. We only give these to tutors. If you meet off-site, you need
to keep some in your folder. Otherwise, go with your clients to the
Welcome Desk to get attendance slips.
WELCOME DESK STAFF
Seek their help if: Your room is too small. The copier isn’t
working. You don’t have markers or mitts in your room. Your room
is locked (If in another building, call them.). You need more
attendance slips or banana sheets. A tutor has not shown for walkin table shift. They are a part of the management team!
VETERAN TUTORS
Other tutors are a huge resource for learning how to be a great tutor!
