Tutoring

Some students with disabilities may need assistance with course materials—the content, retaining information, study skills, writing and/or reading skills, or time management and organizational skills. Your disability resource facilitator or campus co-ordinator will determine the need for and the amount of tutoring assistance required at the beginning of each term.

Your disability resource facilitator or campus co-ordinator may be able to provide the following assistance:

  • Help locate a tutor who fits your needs.


  • Orient and train the tutor, outlining responsibilities and intended outcomes.


  • Set up a meeting between you and the tutor to establish goals and objectives.


  • Make the necessary arrangements for the tutor to be paid for his or her services.


  • Meet with you and the tutor monthly to ensure that the accommodation is working and that both parties are satisfied with performance.

Student responsibilities

  • Schedule tutor times with the tutor and find a suitable location.


  • Arrive on time and have your outline ready for the tutor.


  • Advise the disability resource facilitator or campus co-ordinator of any changes in your requirements.


  • Arrange a meeting with the disability resource facilitator or campus co-ordinator to arrange invoicing and signatures that may be required for payment of your tutor.


  • Notify the disability resource facilitator or campus co-ordinator of any course changes.


  • Attend all scheduled classes.
