Steps to Get Tutoring
-
Using your SMCC student email, send an email to the Writing Center at writing.center@
southmountaincc.edu. -
In your email, indicate the day and time you would like to work with a tutor and whether you would like to use Google Hangouts Meet for video or voice chat, or Google Docs for collaborative review.
Note - Google Docs can only be used in a live session. We do not accept drop off documents for editing.
-
If the time you requested is available, you will get a reply with instructions/ link to join the meeting.
-
If your requested time is not available, you will receive a reply indicating the next available time. Once confirmed, you will receive an email with a link to join at that time.
-
Sessions will be set for 15 minutes at a time. If after 15 minutes you would like more time, and there are no appointments waiting, the session can be continued for another 15 minutes.
Guidelines for Students
-
Have the assignment instructions and/or syllabus at the top of your page, ready to screenshare.
-
Identify in advance the top 2 areas you want to work on during your session.
-
Set aside enough time -Tutoring sessions are 15 minutes, so it may take more than one session to work on an assignment.
-
If you are suing GoogleMeets, make sure you are in a quiet place, with a working microphone, appropriately dressed with all the materials you need and with no interruptions anticipated.
-
Keep the conversation focused on your assignment
