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).
