What to Expect During a Zoom Tutoring Session

• Please have the Canvas assignment directions/prompt and your essay draft ready to screen share.
• Once you log in, you will be invited to a break-out room with your tutor.
• After introductions, you and your tutor will have a conversation about your main writing concerns and identify a goal for your session.
• The tutor will ask questions and provide guidance as you make decisions about your writing. We encourage students to ask for clarification throughout the session.
• After your session, your tutor will record details in AlamoNAVIGATE and request that you complete the post-session student satisfaction survey.
• Students can request verification of their visit, if required by the instructor.
