Bring your books, syllabus, assignments, notes, and any questions you have.
Communicate

Be engaged and actively participate
Put away cell phones and devices to get the most out of your tutoring session.
Have realistic expectations
The Success Centers can help you on your way to success, but tutoring sessions cannot replace regular, attentive class attendance.
