Things to Remember
- Have your book or materials with you.
- Be prepared to talk about your assignment.
- Have a specific question or area that you want to work on.
- Understand that we are here to point the way to the answers, so don’t ask the teacher to give you answers to your homework.

- It's good to get advice from your tutor, go back and do the work on your own, and then make another appointment if you need to.
