I am not sure if you are referring to one-on-one or group tutoring, but all our tutoring is drop-in group tutoring. We coordinate it out of our office (which until last month was a corner in the library, now we have a building dedicated to the Academic Success Center). We have purposefully had tutoring take place in several locations around campus (Tutor Zones - "borrowed" from TAMU). We use the library in the center of campus, the student union on one side of campus and a student center on the other side = 3 zones. We decided that when we moved into the building, we would not centralize all tutoring here, but rather add a 4th zone. The idea for us was to be as visible across campus as possible, and I think it is helping. Student tutors wear a light mesh vest (orange or green - depending on content area) and place a table tent on their tutoring table with the course/subject to be covered. This allows students seeking help a way to recognize the tutor. I have attached a word document that has a photo taken recently (in the library tutoring zone) for some of our promotional materials. This will give you an idea of what I just described. Hope this is helpful. Have a great weekend, Elaine M.
