Department of Accountancy

Free tutoring is available Monday through Thursday from 1:30 to 4:30 p.m. and from 7:30 to 8:30 p.m. in Koffler Hall 219. The tutors are accounting majors or minors and can provide tutoring for Principles of Accounting (Acc 101 & Acc 102) and Financial Accounting (Acc 103). Depending on the specific tutor, help can also be provided for more advanced accounting courses (e.g., Intermediate, Cost, Managerial, Advanced), but again, this depends on the specific tutor. Check the tutors' schedule to see the times that specific tutors are available. Feel free to e-mail a tutor to determine if he or she can help you with your particular course.

To make the most of your tutoring session, consider the following:

You must attempt or try your homework BEFORE seeing a tutor. A tutor will NOT be able to help you if you do not come prepared.
See a tutor as soon as you realize that you need help. Do NOT wait until an exam is a couple of days away because it is unrealistic to expect a tutor to "teach" you everything you need to know for an exam in a single tutoring session. If you know that you are having difficulty, it is always best to set-up a regular meeting time (e.g., once a week) with a tutor to review your material. Again, check the tutors' schedule to see the times that specific tutors are available.
Pay attention in class. Otherwise, you won't know what you don't understand, and you won't know what questions to ask your tutor. See also #1 above about being prepared.
If you feel that a tutor has not been particularly helpful, feel free to work with a different tutor. Each tutor has his or her own style of explaining concepts, and another tutor's style may suit you better. Don't worry. You won't hurt anyone's feelings by doing this, and besides, it's YOUR education so take control.

More questions? Need to provide feedback to someone about your tutor and/or your tutoring session(s)? If so, please feel free to contact Margaret Ruggieri. Good luck.
