Reconciliation Key
Review Incomplete Surveys
Review Your Dashboard for Any Incomplete Surveys
Pearl Post-Session Surveys are required after every tutoring session and must be completed in their entirety. These surveys serve as the student’s official progress notes and are used to document academic growth and progress.
Please ensure your responses are thorough, specific, and informative. Avoid vague or one-word answers, and make sure each section is completed accurately based on that day’s session.
Although tutoring sessions are expected to last for the full scheduled session time, if a session must end early for any reason, you MUST provide an explanation in the “Notes to Admin” section of the survey detailing why the session was cut short.
