早点出发. 学习既不快速也不容易. 它会随着时间和练习而提高. Meeting for the 第一个 time the day before the exam may hinder your tutor’s ability to get to know you. The benefits of tutoring are fully realized after multiple sessions.
做好准备，准时到达. Bring along relevant worksheets, notes, handouts, materials, and supplies. 辅导不能代替课堂. 完整的 practice problems and read your textbook prior to your session. This will help you identify goals for the conversation.
问具体的问题. 你来制定日程，而不是导师. Begin by sharing your needs to bring structure and order to the session. They want to discuss concepts that matter most to you. Do you need help prioritizing information or understanding new terminology? 与其说, “我迷路了”，准备好陈述, “Can you help me better understand this part of the problem or concept?” If you do not understand tutors’ explanation, be honest and ask them to rephrase or clarify their terminology.
Tackle the most difficult, important problems or concerns 第一个. Your tutor would hate to run out of time toward the end of the session and be unable to address your questions.
自己动手. Do not expect tutors to do the work or thinking for you. Their objective is to empower you to understand concepts yourself so you can master the material. 他们给你工具，而不是答案.
Take advant年龄 of group tutoring sessions. Listening to your peers’ questions can normalize your own experience, reducing your anxiety. They may also inquire about something you have not yet realized. Group sessions may also give you time to work on problems while the tutor circulates to other students, which permits you to try out your new understanding of concepts and ask additional follow-up questions.
积极参与. 学习不是一项观赏性的运动. 在会议期间做笔记. Do the problem alongside tutors instead of watching them solve it. Listen carefully and in your mind translate each step or concept in your own words.
Think aloud so your tutors understand your comprehension. This will help them intervene or assess gaps in your understanding.
评估你之前的学习. If you struggled with the initial chapters and the subsequent units build upon this knowledge, you may need to return to these topics. Mastering foundational information may also be helpful if this is the 第一个 time you are studying a topic and many of the concepts or terminology are new. If you feel completely behind or lost, speak with your 教授 or academic advisor regarding the suitability of the course and your strategy.
接受新的建议. Your tutors may suggest different study techniques or recommend that you visit a particular department on campus. Ask them to describe their own study habits. Approach these strategies with an open mind and try them to assess their effectiveness.
与你的教授见面. Tutors cannot present information in the same depth as your instructors. The 教授 is an expert on the subject and can answer your questions about course content. Your faculty are also e年龄r to provide individual assistance to you and have posted their office hours for this reason.
