As Academic Mentors, we…
*Can help students overcome shyness, gain self-esteem,
handle difficult scholastic and social situations, and become more confident.
*Maintain high expectations based on academic
goals for students and help them follow through with the tutoring program's
objectives.
*Reinforce responsible behaviors with praise
and find ways to publicly recognize their work with parents and throughout
the school community
*Provide a good balance between relationship-building
activities and direct educational support activities, such as study skills,
test prep, subject specific knowledge, organizational skills, and homework
assistance.
CTC tutors model confidence and respect and encourage
students to persevere and not give up.
"Tell me,
and I'll forget.
Show me,
and I may not remember.
Involve me,
and I'll understand."
