Tutor Management
If time allowed, how many students would you place in tutoring? Right – all of the ones that need it. So much of advising is about time management. But what consumes time is having to reach in multiple locations to accomplish one task. GradesFirst allows you to put everything you need in one place. Now, within minutes, you have the ability to access student information, compare availabilities, and schedule appointments. Students and tutors will love being able to communicate and confirm appointments via text message, email or Facebook. Time can now be on everyone’s side!
Take a request. Make a request.
It’s like a two-way street – either paved and smooth – or dumpy and broken. Tutor requests can be generated by an advisor – if a student has been marked at-risk or if they’ve missed too many classes (see Early Alert and Attendance Tracking). Additionally, students can request tutoring whenever they feel the need. Each scenario directs the request to an advisor with an Integrated
Calendar to determine a time that fits both tutor and student.
Never not know, again.
Centralized Documentation captures every task, every at-risk notification, every note from a tutor session, and every conversation with a student – giving you peace of mind. Now, you can be free to support students with all of the important details at your fingertips.
Keep it in drive.
Scheduling an appointment isn’t hard. But waiting for confirmation can be. This can make your day feel like it’s pulling an anchor – but with Modern Communication tools you’ll feel like skiing! Every message is sent according to the recipients’ preference. With two-way texting, Facebook, and email capabilities, students are able to respond quickly, which keeps momentum up.
Do what works.
Whether you are managing individual tutor requests or managing a tutor center, Reporting gives
you the data you need to determine what works. You’re able to track tutor requests by the course or by appointments. Now you have the analysis needed to reduce student no-shows and increase appointment confirmations. Tutor management is a snap with GradesFirst’s payroll module and time-sheet generation. Now, all the data to manage a tutoring center is where it should be – with you.
