How do Students Connect with Tutors?
Through Brightspace, students can click the TutorMe link on the top section of the page.
Once you’ve done that, TutorMe will automatically create an account for you and take you to a screen that looks like this:
From here, students will click “Connect with a Tutor” to be taken to the Main TutorMe page.
The next step is to tell TutorMe the type of support you need. Students should type “Writing” in the search bar and avoid things like “Research” as this is NOT just Nursing specific tutors!
At the next screen students can attach any relevant documents they would like a tutor to review as well as a rubric to aid in the tutor’s understanding of the assignment.
After typing their concerns and attaching any relevant documents, students will be sent to a virtual waiting area where they can view their tutor’s credentials and area(s) of expertise prior to entering the Virtual Tutoring Center. At this time, if students would like to be paired with a different tutor, they can do so!
Once they are ready to begin the lesson, they may click “Begin Lesson”. They will then be taken to the virtual lesson space when they can use video, audio, or just text to communicate with their tutor and receive their writing support.
