Tutoring Procedure

  1. Set up your Zoom session.
  2. Find the student’s email address from the MyWConline schedule​.
  3. Using your student email address, send the tutee an invite to your zoom session. Copy the link to your zoom session into the email.
  4. (Below is a template you can use for the Tutoring Invitation email).
  5. 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).
