Tutor Contract

In accepting employment as a tutor for the Occupational Development Program, I understand and agree to the following conditions:

1. I feel competent to tutor the subjects listed on my tutor application. I am familiar, or will become familiar, with the materials currently being used in the course.
2. I will talk with the course instructor at the beginning and throughout the semester and as is beneficial to the tutoring process.
3. I understand it is ultimately my responsibility to make all reasonable effort to make initial contact with the students I am assigned. If contact cannot be made, I will report this to the ODP office immediately.
4. I will notify my students at least 24 hours in advance of our meeting if I am not able to attend a session or need to reschedule.
5. I will notify the ODP office if there is a change in my tutoring load or schedule. This includes students who no longer need my services, and those who just stop attending, drop the course, or who withdraw from school.
6. I will maintain a working relationship with my students at all times. Intimate and social contacts are understood to be outside a “working” relationship. I will maintain the confidentiality of my students at all times.
7. I will submit payroll forms and a time sheet for EACH pay period as required.
8. I will provide feedback regarding my students’ progress via the group narrative form and present these EACH pay period.
9. I will plan my tutoring session in advance.
10. I will make the best use of my time and student’s time during the period allotted for a tutoring session.
11. I will make every effort to attend meetings called by the tutorial staff.
12. I will refer any student I believe has a problem (other than course related matters) to the ODP program director.
