Instructions on How to Make a Tutoring Appointment
Below you will find verbiage that explains how students can make a tutoring appointment. Please feel free to include this in your syllabus:
Students may schedule tutorial appointments by logging in to the MyWConline wepage at the following address: https://riverside.mywconline.com/ . If this is your first time making an appointment you will need to first register for an account on the main page. After logging in, or creating an account, you should then select your course from the “Limit to” drop down menu at the top of the page. Available appointments appear as white boxes. Click on the box to make the appointment. All tutorial sessions are 1 hour long. For more information on Tutorial Services, please visit their website: https://rcc.edu/student-support/tutorial-services.html
We appreciate how you have helped facilitate, in such short notice, this transition to online tutoring. This page has been set up to help you through the transition.
Tutoring Procedure
- Set up your Zoom session.
- Find the student’s email address from the MyWConline schedule.
- Using your student email address, send the tutee an invite to your zoom session. Copy the link to your zoom session into the email.
- (Below is a template you can use for the Tutoring Invitation email).
- Make sure to end the session at 50 minutes, so that you have time to setup and start your next appointment.
Points to Remember
- Appointments are now one-on-one
- Use the camera as much as possible; it will likely put the student at ease.
- Stick to the 50 MINUTES
- Don’t forget to use your STUDENT EMAIL ADDRESS
- You can find your tutee’s email address by clicking on the appointment, then their name, in the MyWConline schedule
- Do not fill out your accountability sheets. (Information regarding signing your timesheets will be forthcoming).
