Tutoring Session Logs
Tutors: Get your session log here.
Session Log Instructions
- Session logs should be submitted completely filled in and on time (within 24 hours after a session, ideally immediately afterward because you will remember what you covered during that session)
- If you consistently submit session logs late, your supervisor will warn you once and then you may be asked to reconsider your commitment to the CTL
- When you fill out session logs, please describe what you accomplished and any difficulties the student still has in the "Summary of Session" area of the log. Remember, the “audience” for your session log is the professor teaching the course for which the student(s) sought tutoring
- Erase any copies of the old session log template you may have saved on your personal computer
- Link to session log from the CTL website: Universal Tutoring Session Log
