Get Help with an Oral Presentation

How do I schedule an individual or group appointment?

Go to TutorTrac (sututor.stanford.edu) to log in through WebAuth.
Once you log in, click on "Search Availabilities".
Pick "OCP:OralComm.Tutoring" as your center.
Look for any dates and times that work for you.
Click on the time slot and an appointment entry screen appears. You will need to select "General Presentation Coaching" or "Mock Interview" for the Reason field.
Save your appointment and you're all set. You will receive a confirmation email.
Please note: To rehearse a speech that's 5 min or more, book 60 min by choosing two 30 min sessions back-to-back.
Contact the OCT Manager at lindsey.yeager@stanford.edu you have questions about appointment scheduling.

OCT appointments are held in Meyer Library Suite 123. Enter Meyer 123 from the exterior of Meyer (do not use the main library entrance). The Meyer 123 door faces the clocktower and the main quad.

Students who need help at the last minute are welcome to drop by Meyer 123 weekdays between 10am and 11pm and weekend afternoons to see if OCTs have open appointment slots. We strongly encourage students to schedule appointments, however, to ensure that they can receive help at the times they need it.

Cancellations must be made 24 hours in advance. We ask that students who miss the cancellation deadline make every effort to come to their appointments and avoid missing them.
If you are unable to attend an appointment, it is important to cancel so the shift is available for another student. If you repeatedly miss appointments without cancelling before the deadline, we may limit your ability schedule appointments with OCTs.
