This information is to help you better prepare for and understand expectations for your tutoring session.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Preparing for a Session<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>To get the most out of your tutoring session, you\u2019ll want to come prepared with course materials that you want the tutor to&nbsp;assist&nbsp;with, e.g., guidelines, instructor feedback, syllabi, etc., as well as questions or an area of focus. This will help your tutor know how to structure the session to be most effective and personalized to your needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Doing Your Own Work&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The role of ASC tutors is to empower students, so tutors will not do your work for you or work with you directly on graded assignments. Tutor are instructed to help students&nbsp;do the work for themselves. Tutors are guides and assistants, not&nbsp;instructors or editors. Doing the work yourself, allows you&nbsp;to learn more, retain more, and gain ownership over the material!&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Session Behaviors<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Remember that tutors are here to help and assist you, so you should always be as respectful and polite as possible. If you are frustrated or confused about the material or the session itself, be open and honest with your tutor about this. They have been in your shoes before and will understand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If your tutor is engaging in rude or unprofessional behavior, please tell an ASC staff member and fill out a&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.bellevuecollege.edu\/asc\/resources\/asc-feedback-survey\/\" data-type=\"page\" data-id=\"96\">feedback survey<\/a>. If your tutor is engaging in inappropriate behavior, contact an ASC staff member right away (425-564-2200) or tell the ASC director.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"801\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bellevuecollege.edu\/asc\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/467\/2026\/04\/ASC-Expectations-801x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Welcome poster for an Academic Success Center outlining what students expect from tutors and what tutors expect from students.\" class=\"wp-image-3985\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bellevuecollege.edu\/asc\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/467\/2026\/04\/ASC-Expectations-801x1024.jpg 801w, https:\/\/www.bellevuecollege.edu\/asc\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/467\/2026\/04\/ASC-Expectations-235x300.jpg 235w, https:\/\/www.bellevuecollege.edu\/asc\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/467\/2026\/04\/ASC-Expectations-768x981.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.bellevuecollege.edu\/asc\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/467\/2026\/04\/ASC-Expectations-1202x1536.jpg 1202w, https:\/\/www.bellevuecollege.edu\/asc\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/467\/2026\/04\/ASC-Expectations-1603x2048.jpg 1603w, https:\/\/www.bellevuecollege.edu\/asc\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/467\/2026\/04\/ASC-Expectations-136x174.jpg 136w, https:\/\/www.bellevuecollege.edu\/asc\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/467\/2026\/04\/ASC-Expectations-scaled.jpg 2003w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 801px) 100vw, 801px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Student and Tutor Expectations.
