Tutoring

The rules during tutoring are the same as the rules during school. Although the atmosphere may be a bit more relaxed, students are expected to behave as they would in the classroom.

Tutoring is meant to benefit the student. Many of our tutors are volunteering their time, therefore, we expect the students who attend tutoring to be committed to receiving additional instruction and to be respectful to the tutors.

Cell Phones must be left in the office until students are finished with their tutoring session.

Students need to remain in their seats unless they are given permission by the Tutoring Coordinator.

Though we trust students will behave properly, we do reserve the right to revoke tutoring privileges.

Volunteers are at the heart of our tutoring program. To volunteer, you must meet the following criteria:

• Must be a sophomore in high school or older
• Able to assist 3rd through 8th grade students in the following subjects:
  • Math
  • Social Studies
  • Religion
  • Reading
  • Language Arts
  • Science
  • Spelling/Vocabulary
• Have a warm and friendly personality
• Willing to work with children
• Able to work with students after school, Monday – Friday from 3:30 PM – 4:30 PM

If you would like to be a volunteer, please contact the office for more information 513-961-1953.
