• All ESL tutors are ESL instructors

• Tutoring is “drop-in.” This means that you cannot make an appointment to see a tutor. Come for tutoring when you have time and are ready for help

• Put your name on the sign-up sheet, and wait for the tutor to call your name

• While you are waiting, fill out the yellow “Checklist.” This form asks you to identify what kind of help you need

• A tutoring session is twenty minutes. You may see a tutor two times each week

• Students in classes that have a lab requirement receive a half hour of lab credit for each tutoring session

• A workshop is a 50-minute class on a specific topic related to grammar (e.g. understanding and correcting word-form errors), writing (e.g. making an outline), reading (e.g. taking good notes), pronunciation (e.g. practicing difficult vowel sounds), and oral fluency (e.g. creating and practicing a dialog)

• There are between four and seven workshops each week day

• Attendance is limited to 12 students per workshop. This makes it possible for students to participate more fully

• There is same-day sign-up for workshops. Sign-up sheets for all the workshops on a given day are available at 9 AM. If you sign up in the morning for a workshop later in the day, be sure to arrive promptly so that your place isn’t given to someone else

• Students in classes that have a lab requirement receive one hour of lab credit for each fifty-minute workshop they attend.
