Role of the Tutee

The tutee will:

• be prepared for each tutoring session, so that the tutoring time is effective.
• make the most out of the time spent with the tutor and be sure that the time will be efficient.
• stay to the agreed tutoring times. If for some reason the tutee needs to reschedule, they will contact the tutor immediately. Missing agreed upon tutoring sessions consistently could result in tutoring privileges being revoked.
• agree to the best method of communication with tutor and will stay within those boundaries. Remember, the peer tutor's privacy should be respected.
• contact the Office of Academic Support immediately at Academic.Support@sunyempire.edu if at any time the tutee feels the tutor is asking too much of them, not providing the necessary assistance required, or is no longer providing effective tutoring services.
• contact the Office of Academic Support immediately at Academic.Support@sunyempire.edu if at any time the tutee feels the tutor is acting inappropriately.
• not expect the tutor to answer questions which should be answered by a primary mentor, a course instructor, and/or other university professionals.
• provide feedback, using the  Tutee Feedback Form.rtf (file 168kB),  to the Office of Academic Support for the continued improvement of the Peer Tutor Program.
