Students in need of tutoring will be matched with a student who has excelled in the requested subject area.<\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"how-do-i-get-connected-with-a-tutor\">How Do I Get Connected With a Tutor ?<\/h2>\n\n\n<p>If you need assistance with a specific course or with improving your study skills in general, Tutoring Services can help you. There are two ways to request a tutor:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Make an appointment on Navigate360 by going to <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/monmouth.navigate.eab.com\">the Navigate360 website<\/a><\/strong> or downloading<strong> &#8220;Navigate Student&#8221;<\/strong> on your phone.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Email <a href=\"mailto:tutoringservices@monmouth.edu\">tutoringservices@monmouth.edu<\/a>. Please provide the course code and when you would like to meet with someone. You will receive a return email or phone call within 48-72 hours.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>If an appointment with an academic coach is needed, please make an appointment with one on Navigate360.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"how-long-will-it-take-to-get-connected-with-a-tutor\">How Long Will it Take to Get Connected With a Tutor?<\/h2>\n\n\n<p>Students who make an appointment using Navigate will be able to choose a convenient time to be tutored. For all other requests, a tutor can usually be selected within 48-72 hours. Your first tutoring session can take place as quickly as you feel necessary. It is best to communicate your urgency to your assigned tutor. <strong>It should not be expected that help will be available the same day that a tutor is requested<\/strong>. We highly recommend that you request tutoring help at your first sign of trouble.<\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"how-often-can-i-meet-with-a-tutor\">How Often Can I Meet with a Tutor?<\/h2>\n\n\n<p>It is recommended that students meet with the tutor on a weekly basis for retention and review<strong>. <\/strong>However, students may meet with a tutor for just one or a few tutoring sessions; others contact the tutor as needed. We recommend that ample notice be given to the tutor to ensure that a mutual time can be scheduled and the necessary assistance is received.<\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"what-should-i-expect-from-a-tutoring-session\">What Should I Expect From a Tutoring Session?<\/h2>\n\n\n<p><strong>Students may meet with a tutor for up to 2 hours a week. This can be four half-hour sessions, or two one-hour sessions, which ensures a balance of available hours. <\/strong>Thirty-minute to one-hour tutoring sessions are typical. It is very important for you, the tutee, to communicate your needs to the tutor before the first meeting, as well as at the beginning of the session.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tutoring sessions offer reinforcement or clarification of course content, demonstration, modeling, practice, and suggestions for learning the material. Tips for improving study skills will also be provided. Tutors will sit with you to review or discuss your work and answer your questions.<\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"what-you-should-not-expect-from-a-tutoring-session\">What You Should Not Expect From a Tutoring Session<\/h2>\n\n\n<p>The tutor will <strong>note<\/strong> do your work for you. You should <strong>not<\/strong> expect a tutor to cram with you the day before a test or exam. A tutor cannot guarantee you a high grade. A tutor should not replace your own hard work and preparation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Master Tutors<br \/>\n Faculty Master Tutors are available for assistance with natural sciences, humanities, social sciences, and study skills.<br \/>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n<p> Professor Elizabeth Brooks<br \/>\n  Professor Elizabeth Brooks<br \/>\nMaster Tutor<\/p>\n<p> EDUCATION: Master of Arts, Reading Specialization-Adult Literacy<br \/>\n SPECIALTIES: College-level reading and study strategy development leading to successful attainment of academic goals<br \/>\n AVAILABLE: Spring 2013: Tuesday 12:00-2:00 p.m. APPOINTMENTS REQUIRED.
