Tips for a productive appointment:
- Always come prepared – Prior to your tutoring or coaching session you should identify key topics that you need assistance in. This ensures meaningful time for both you and your tutor.
- Bring any materials that may be helpful – This could include lecture notes, homework problems, assignment rubrics, or syllabi.
- Stay engaged – During your session, the tutor will be able to provide the best assistance if you are focused and free of distractions.
- Follow up – After your session, review any topics and explanations that were discussed to ensure that you have a proper understanding of the materials you sought help with.
- Communicate – Honest discussions with your tutors about what you understand versus what you don’t will allow them to provide a quality experience. If you need additional assistance or have feedback, please share it with us.
The Center for Academic Success is located on the Gainesville Historic Campus at 620 Academy Street. Appointments are available at all other Brenau instructional sites, based on tutor availability.
