VSB PEER TUTORS

Individual tutoring appointments are available for the select VSB courses listed below. Students enrolled in these courses may schedule up to, but no more than 2 hours per week of tutoring for each course. VSB tutoring services will be operating in a hybrid format in the Spring 2024 semester – students will be able to schedule online or in-person appointments. For online appointments, you can expect your tutoring session to be conducted on a virtual platform such as Zoom, Microsoft Teams, GoBoard, etc. Please follow the steps below to schedule a 30- or 60-minute appointment with a VSB tutor:

1. Access WCOnline and create an account to log in
2. Once logged in, please select the “VSB Peer Tutors SP24” schedule under the “Schedules” drop-down.
   
3. To view the entire tutoring calendar, click on the “view the calendar display” (or update your 'system preferences' to default to the calendar display) at the bottom of the page. If you prefer to use the “Find an Appointment” form view, follow the directions below and skip steps 4-5.

   Select a preferred appointment date, time, course code, and meeting type. Then select the ‘find appointments’ button. Select the appointment that matches your requirements and click ‘reserve’. Please know that if you use this method, you risk scheduling with a tutor who does not cover the course you need. As a result, your appointment may be canceled on short notice with limited rescheduling options.

4. Scheduling via the tutoring calendar: Select the course for which you need tutoring in the “Limit To” drop-down box. This is a critical step in the scheduling process. Please know that if you do not complete this step, you risk scheduling with a tutor who does not cover the course you need. As a result, your appointment may be canceled on short notice with limited rescheduling options.
5. You will see the availability for the VSB tutors of that course. Hover over the tutor name to see their tutoring modality (online or face-to-face/in-person). Select the open box(es) of time (in white) to schedule your appointment; each box represents 30 minutes. Once you select a box, you can edit the end time of the session to make the meeting 60 minutes, if desired.
   
   • Select VSB tutors are available to conduct tutoring sessions in languages other than English (Spanish,  Punjabi, etc.). If applicable, you will see those languages listed next to the tutor’s name on the WCOnline schedule. At this time, this is available for select VSB courses only. 
     
6. Once scheduled, you will receive an email confirmation with further information regarding your meeting.
   
   • If you scheduled a virtual meeting, your tutor will email you the meeting link or comment in the “What would you like to work on?” section of your appointment sign-up form; find this by clicking the box representing your appointment on the VSB schedule.
7. Before your appointment, please review the “Quick Tips for a Successful Tutoring Experience” section below.

All VSB tutoring services will be available Monday, January 22 to Tuesday, May 2 (last day of class). Tutoring appointments are not available during Finals Week.
