Students can book 1-, 1.5-, and 2-hour tutoring sessions.
We would like to note, after receiving feedback from students on hundreds of tutoring sessions, we have found that 2-hour sessions are often needed to help students complete their classwork and teach them the necessary concepts involved so that they can do well on exams.
In the case students want to work on labs, projects, or other homework for their class, we recommend you book a 2-hour session.
1/1.5-hour sessions are useful only when wanting clarification on certain topics or some questions answered. Please keep this in mind when booking sessions.
Yes!
It is highly advised to book several sessions at once especially if you know that you will be needing help with several homework assignments, projects, and studying for exams over the next few weeks.
The reason why is because if you know that a busy schedule is coming up for the class, it means other students do too and you want to make sure that you get a session when you need it before they fill up.
The goal of this application is to allow students to book tutoring sessions as quick as possible. It removes the hassle of going back and forth with tutors to figure out what time works for both of you.
You will not be in contact with your tutor until the session starts. If there are any questions or concerns please text us at (616)-275-4262 and we will get back to you as soon as possible.
Group tutoring sessions is class dependent.
For any computer science, writing, or information technology class the answer is no as students often have to complete unique work when writing code or essays. However for any other class we can make it work.
Simply text (616)-275-4262 the following message: Your Name + “GROUP SESSION” and we can get it handled from there. Discounts on sessions will be given to each individual student in the group session and it will be discussed through text.
All tutors are students at MSU.
It all depends on you. You get in what you put out. As long as you are focused during tutoring sessions and using the time wisely to learn everything that you are struggling with, you will see great improvements from having tutoring sessions.
Students can expect a tutoring session that is not focused solely on finishing homework and projects, but instead on making sure students are learning the concepts needed to complete their homework and projects.
We emphasize the learning process over anything else as we have found that this method of tutoring allows for students to perform far better on exams than if they are just using tutors to finish their homework.
Yes!
Just visit the “Book a Session” page and select the tutor you want to work with. From there you can select a time that the tutor you want to work with is available.
All tutoring sessions are held through Zoom.
It depends on how comfortable you are with the class and doing work on your own. Once you meet with a tutor, ask them how often they think you should meet with them and go from there. They will often have the best idea of how to proceed.
