Defining the varied structures of tutoring centers: Laying a foundation for future research
Page: 93
The creators and leaders of mathematics tutoring centers at universities make many choices about the organizational structure of their centers. Some of those choices include the location of the center, the education level of the tutors, the method of tutor training, the number of hours tutoring is available, and the way tutoring is provided (i.e. drop in or scheduled). Our group’s long-term goal is to provide research-based evidence to help faculty and administrators choose effective structures for centers. This paper documents similarities and differences between centers to provide a descriptive foundation for future hypothesis generation and testing.
