Hi John,
Here is my answer to a similar question -
https://kwiziq.learnfrenchwithalexa.com/questions/view/what-about-je-suis-assis
Please also note that it would be -
tu t'assieds
as s'asseoir is reflexive.
Let me know if it helps!

Further to Chris's post.
tu t'es assise suggests that the person doing the sitting down is a female, otherwise the conjugation would be tu t'es assis.
