- Be available for introductory meetings, Zoom video conferences, and phone calls with prospective students.
- Create brief lesson plans, “brush up” on any topics that will be covered in lessons, and assign homework materials for students (not worksheets, but suggested questions from the student's textbook, external resources, etc.).
- Be available to work during non-traditional hours. Since many students have school requirements, sessions may run into the evening (up to 10:00 PM) and/or take place on weekends. This will depend on the students on your roster and their availability. All sessions only take place at mutually agreed upon times and locations between the student and the tutor.
- Adapt, encourage and provide feedback to students (and to parents) to achieve real life results.
