They are paid, trained tutors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>Where will tutoring take place?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Students will work with their tutor to determine where the tutoring session will be held. Typically, tutoring sessions are held on campus in a common area such as the library, a study lounge, or a classroom. In addition, there is the option to meet online through the <strong>Knack<\/strong> virtual platform. Tutoring sessions may not occur in a dorm room or an off-campus residence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>How long do tutoring sessions last?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tutors and students can set the length of a session between 30 and 90 minutes, depending on their preferences. This range is supported by several factors, including attention span and learning effectiveness, Cognitive Load Theory, and engagement and interaction in learning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>How do I contact my tutor?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Communication will take place through the <strong>Knack<\/strong> app. Students and tutors will be able to message each other through the app to plan tutoring sessions and send each other updates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>Can I meet with my tutor on a regular basis?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Students and tutors determine how often to meet. For example, it could be just once, or it could be twice a week for the entire semester. Students and tutors decide if they will continue to meet and what the planned schedule will be.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>How much tutoring can I receive in a week?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Students are permitted to receive tutoring for up to 3 hours per week for each course, with this maximum resetting on Sundays. This limit aims to encourage independence, optimize learning, avoid overdependence, and promote effective study habits. In addition to peer tutoring, students are highly encouraged to utilize other <a href=\"https:\/\/umaine.edu\/studentsuccesshub\/academic-support\/\">Academic Support<\/a> available at UMaine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>Can I receive tutoring in more than one course?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Students can receive tutoring in any number of courses in which they are currently enrolled, and can meet with different tutors for the same course.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How much does tutoring cost?
