How eTutoring Can Benefit Your Institution

Customization

• Any school can have tutoring in all subjects

available:

– math, science, accounting, statistics, calculus, biology, research methods, information literacy, chemistry, anatomy and physiology, and more in addition to the flagship writing tutoring.

• All schools have access to synchronous and

asynchronous tutoring sessions

Collaboration

• eTutoring does not dictate to member

schools.

• Schools collaborate to decide what services

and processes are most beneficial

• Schools offer comments

and suggestions to improve services and the platform

Our Tutors (Your Tutors)

• eTutoring uses trained, experienced, and

evaluated writing tutors

• A strength of eTutoring has always been

institutions contributing the work of tutors they know and trust

Quality Control

• eTutoring provides technical support

through the Western Consortium

• An annual review of writing tutors including

self-review/reflection

• Results shared with each institutions’

coordinator and with the tutor

Great Value

• In AY 2018-19:

– 1583 students used writing tutoring 2-3 times. – Over 500 used writing tutoring 5-6 times. – Over 100 used writing tutoring 10 times or more.

• A student can use the eTutoring writing lab

up to three times for each writing assignment

High Student Satisfaction

• In AY 2018-19 academic year, students

reported an overall satisfaction rate of 3.59

• ut of 4 for the tutoring received

Building Student Confidence

• eTutoring tracks student confidence levels

with the goal of increasing confidence through support

• In AY 2018-19, fewer than half of students

self-identified as confident or very confident (and fewer than 1/3 of ESL students)

• Less confident students tend to use the

service more frequently!

Archiving and Reporting

• Records and archives are kept for all

synchronous and asynchronous sessions

• Coordinators have access to archives and

records to address questions and issues as they arise

• Each institution has access to its own stats,

including tutor activity, synchronous and asynchronous sessions, student use, satisfaction, etc.

Flexibility

• Your school’s eTutoring term is the date

range that you provide

• Opt in or out of summer (annual contracts

include summer… cost is based on total annual sessions)

• Tutors schedules are created by eTutoring

coordinator, but you tell us when to schedule your tutors

Training

• eTutoring trains your tutors in eTutoring protocols
• Self-paced, interactive training modules
• Master tutor

– reviews new tutor submissions – helps determine when tutors are ready – communicates with campus coordinators – supports new tutors as they begin, offering suggestions through the first three months of tutoring
