How to Make an Online Tutoring Appointment?

  • Call (217) 206-6503 or email ctl@uis.edu and request an appointment to meet with a tutor.

  • Inform the CTL which method of tutoring you prefer.

Methods of Online Tutoring:

Elluminate V-Room

In an Elluminate V-Room online tutoring appointment, the tutor will work with you synchronously (live or at the same time). The CTL will schedule you and a tutor to meet at the same time. The tutor will e-mail you at your UIS email address a link to his/her Elluminate V-room. You will go to the link to join the V-Room session at your appointment time. For the session, you will need:

  1. View minimum requirements.
  2. Electronic version of your assignment (preferred)
  3. Electronic version of the instructions to your assignment (preferred)
  4. Computer Speakers turned on
  5. Microphone (optional)

First-Time Elluminate Users

Please follow the instructions below one day prior to your session.  The steps below will take approximately 30 minutes to complete.

  1. Complete the Orientation at Elluminate’s support web site. There are slides available and there is also a demonstration that is very useful.
