Ways to be a Good Tutee

1. Go to class: take GOOD notes.
2. Come prepared: look at your assignment BEFORE coming to the MLC.
3. Have specific questions ready.
4. Focus on the method, not merely the answers. Tutors will not give you the answers.
5. Be an ACTIVE learner. If you don't understand something, please say so.
6. Have a growth mindset - you don't understand it YET.
7. Be understanding: tutors are students too.
8. Review each problem after you finish.
