            Welcome back to another year of helping your peers and professors. You have been selected to be a tutor for the fall semester. There are a couple of procedures and policies that you will find in this packet to help you become better acquainted with what is expected of you. I am confident all of you will do your best to help students at Lewis and Clark succeed in the classroom.

The Basics of How Things are Run

Tutees come to the SAAB Office or SAAB Tutoring Board in search of help.  Posted online is a list of all the tutors in each of the departments.  Tutees are expected to contact the tutors by e-mail to set up a meeting time.  This allows for the flexibility of both the tutee and the tutorŐs busy schedules.  Tutors: you are expected to respond to tutoring requests in a timely manner.

 

Consider the library when arranging a time and place to meet.  It is the best environment conducive to serious studying and is easily accessible to all.

 

At each tutoring session, be sure that to complete all parts of the Tutoring Log and do not forget the tuteeŐs signature!   

 

 

SAAB Tutoring Policy

 

  1. Tutors must respond to tutoring requests as soon as possible.

 

  1. A student may only be tutored 2 hours per week in any subject.  This will be checked each month.

 

  1. Tutoring cannot be required by any professor or department if you hear of it being required please notify the tutoring director.  (Suggested is different than required)

 

  1. No tutoring will be done starting one week before finals.

 

  1. Please encourage students to use other help on campus; this includes the Writing Center, Math Skills Center, Physics Help Center, and Chemistry Help Center. As always, our budget is tight.

 

 

Tax Forms and Timecards

Tax Forms:

You must fill out your tax forms (both I-9 and W-4 forms) as well as the Employment Request Authorization form.  When you bring your forms to Student Financial Services bring either a) a valid passport or b) a valid driverŐs license AND Social Security Card or notarized Birth Certificate.

 

Timecards:

1.      Student Financial Services will send the Tutoring Director timecards with your name and information pre-printed on them. Your timecard will be found in a folder outside the SAAB Tutoring Office a week before timecards are due.  It is your responsibility to pick up your timecard or to contact the Tutoring Director if it is not in the folder.

 

2.      Fill out the following information on your timecard:

a.    Number of hours worked per day

b.    Total Hours

3.      Timecards and Tutoring Logs are due in mid-month.  You will receive an email from the Tutoring Director specifying monthly deadlines.  If you do not include your Tutoring Log, your Time Card will not be signed and you will not be paid.  Late Time Cards will NOT be accepted unless prearranged with the Tutoring Director.  You can turn in your Timecards to the Tutoring Director or place them in the folder marked Completed Timecards and Logs.  The Tutoring Director will then check your Tutoring Log, sign your Time Card and turn it into SFS.

 

4.      Direct Deposit is highly recommended. You can find the form for doing so at Student Financial Services. If you choose to not have direct deposit, you will be able to pick up your paycheck on the 30th of every month at the CashierŐs Office in the basement of Templeton.
