Once you’ve found a good tutor, the best way to utilize your time
(remember that you are paying them hourly), is to
prepare a set of questions
ahead of time. It’s not very good to just show
up and say, “Here’s the chapter
we are working on. I’m lost.” Tutors are not
usually experienced teachers so
they can’t just pop out a lecture on
something. Most tutors do better with
specific questions.
Also be sure that your tutor isn’t just doing a bunch of problems for
you.
Watching a tutor do problems isn’t going to
help you much. The best thing is
to have your tutor do one problem and explain
the concept and/or process…
Then you try to do a similar problem on your
own. Just have them give you a
hint if you get stuck, but not too soon! A
tutor isn’t doing you any favors by
just doing a problem for you when you ask. You
already know that the tutor
can do the problems. The goal is for YOU to be
able to do the problems!
Get in the proper frame of mind!
This class is your job! How much effort are you putting into it? Do
you
always clock in late? Do you sleep in and
ditch? Are you getting your work
done on time? Are you putting forth your very
best effort?
If this class was really your job, would you get fired or would you get
a
nice raise and a promotion?
Whatever you do in
life,
do your very best
and you’ll never regret it.
