As a Peer Tutor with the Department of Management, we expect that you will follow these simple guidelines:
You should at all times maintain a professional attitude when meeting and interacting with the student. Both the Peer Tutor and students are expected to treat each other with the utmost respect. Consuming food during tutoring sessions is not allowed; however, liquids are allowed.
A Peer Tutor is expected to commit to a specific period of time to tutor (minimum one year which is equivalent to 3 semesters). However, this minimum may change if the Peer Tutor is in the final year at the UTSC or leaving for a Co-op term. The Exam Prep Facilitator should be available when needed, and is expected to be dependable and properly prepared for each exam prep session their have signed up for.
It is the Peer Tutor’s responsibility to arrange the meeting with the tutee within two days of receiving the email with the tutee info. Also, the Peer Tutor should ensure that the scheduled time is appropriate and if using a virtual platform that this is secure as well. As things change, peer tutors and tutees may be able to meet in-person and should do so if they are both on campus. You are expected to also notify the tutee if you are running late. In regards to not being able to make it to the meeting, the Peer Tutor should give the tutee at least one day’s notice and it is the Peer Tutor’s responsibility to reschedule the meeting. The Peer Tutor is responsible for turning in the log sheet at the end of each semester to Betty Walters, Management Program Advisor.
Peer Tutors should be aware of their strengths and weaknesses regarding the courses that they agreed to help with, and should not under any circumstances attempt to assist students in any area that they do not feel competent. Management expects that a Peer Tutor will only help with a course in which they have acquired good understanding and sound knowledge of its concepts. Peer tutors should advise tutees to consult with the instructor and the T.A. of the course, if they cannot accurately answer the question. Attempting to tutor a course in which you have limited understanding would be a disservice not only to the tutee and the department, but also to yourself.
Management requires students who sign up to be peer tutors to have a good command of English and to be able to explain the course concepts easily
Any knowledge of a tutee’s grades, academic standing, and sensitive information must be kept confidential and not disclosed to any third party (including other tutors or tutees).Such information should not be used for any purpose except to assist the tutee during a tutoring session.
I agree to work with my tutee to coordinate tutoring sessions until one week before the exam. However, if I encounter any problems with the meeting schedule, I will contact the Program Advisor immediately.
Please indicate your availability for the following semesters:
