Prepare for your Tutoring Session | University of Portland

Prepare for your Tutoring Session

Step 1: Create a list of goals for your appointment

After you set up an appointment with a tutor, take ten minutes to consider your goals for the session. What do you want to be able to do after 30-60 minutes of working with one of our trained tutors?

Step 2: Be ready to describe what you've been doing

Your language tutor will want to know what you've been doing in your class, how you've been approaching learning the language, and how much time you've been spending on language learning.

Step 3: Bring your questions to the tutoring sessions

Write down your questions about the language learning issues that you are dealing with.

Step 4: Bring any needed materials to your appointment and arrive on time

Now you are ready to meet with your tutor. Make sure to bring books, papers, and other resources to your meeting so that you can have a productive session. Arriving on time is a common courtesy and will ensure that you benefit from the full time of your appointment.
