Good evening tutors,
We are thrilled to announce the launch of Tutor Rubric 3.0!
Sessions will be graded according to Rubric 3.0 starting this coming Monday, August 7th.
The new rubric shares many features with the last version, but includes new emphasis on instruction pace, responsiveness, teaching tools, and fostering a growth mindset in students.
Along with the new rubric, we are releasing Quality Assurance System 2.0. The redesigned system provides you with individual workbooks that let you see your performance, scheduling, and payment information all in one place. Each of you will be emailed a link to your individual QA 2.0 Workbook later this evening.
Finally, we’ve updated the Session Tags that tutors and TQMs apply to sessions after they’ve ended. Everything you need to know about these changes can be found in the following short documents.

Connecting Your Tutor Workbook
We ask that you familiarize yourself with the new Rubric, QA System, and Tags by this coming Monday. We’re excited to be starting another school year with all of you and want to hear any feedback you have on these changes over the coming weeks.
Thank you,
Team Yup
ADDRESSING STUDENTS BY NAME TO BUILD RAPPORT
Here’s an easy way to make a good session great: When a student’s first name is provided in their username, aim to address the student by name at the beginning of, and throughout the session. For example, saying “Good job!” is encouraging, but saying “Good job, John!” makes your praise more likely to motivate the student and make them feel good about their work.
Teaching online may be less personal than working with students face-to-face, but we can still do little things to build rapport with the student. Not only will this increase engagement, but it will also keep your students coming back to work with you again!
