Decide what your priorities are. The student contract might include sections on making and keeping appointments, showing up on time for appointments, and attempting assignments before meetings.
Get specific about these priorities and write out a short description for each. For example, the section about attempting assignments before the session might read: Come prepared! Do as much of your assignment as possible, and write down any questions you may have.
Type up your priorities, and add a place on the bottom of the contract for you and your tutee to sign.
Format the contract so that it is easy to read, but do not go overboard on embellishments that will distract from the purpose of the document.
Make a copy for each of your students. It is a good idea for the tutor and the tutee to retain a copy of the signed contract.
