Levels of Support

 

1) Evening Guided Study Hall

Guided Study meets 4 nights a week during scheduled evening study hours and is recommended for students needing a professionally-facilitated, structured, small-group setting to make good use of their study time. Trained professionals work directly with students to help them plan their time, initiate and complete assignments, develop good study habits, and provide academic assistance. In addition to providing tutoring in specific content areas, tutors also support and validate students’ efforts to initiate and complete their assignments to the best of their ability.

 

 

2) One-on-One Tutoring

Options for more targeted one-on-one tutoring (e.g., for specific assignments) are available upon request.
