Tutoring is an effective way for students to engage with course content outside of class. Follow these suggestions to optimize the tutoring relationship for yourself, for your students, and for the tutors assigned to your courses.

Here's what we can do for you:

• Hire tutors whom you recommend. If you would like to recommend an outstanding student for a tutoring position in the CAT Center, please send the student's name and contact information to Chesney Reich.
• Supply you with information about the students who attend tutoring sessions for your class. To access information about your students' visits to the CAT Center, click here.
• Notify you of services available for your students. At the beginning of the semester, you will receive an email notifying you of the tutors assigned to your course. The email will contain printable flyers that you can link to your course website or post in your office or classroom.
• Help students meet your academic expectations. During the first few weeks of the semester, tutors will contact you to discuss your course syllabi and expectations. They will maintain contact throughout the semester to ensure that tutoring sessions correspond with the course content.
• Offer in-class presentations about the CAT Center 's services. Both tutors and the CAT Center Director are available to  visit your classes and to introduce our services to your students.
• Provide you with publications you can use to remind students of our services. Academic Success Center bookmarks contain contact information and Web site addresses for the CAT, Writing, and Math Tutoring Centers.
