Tutoring

Extra help with assignments, make-up work time, and answers to questions will be available most mornings before school from 7:00-7:40AM. (There are some exceptions to availability, and a sign will be posted on the door if help is unable to be offered.)

Otherwise, tutoring is offered on an individual basis in the form of an extra Language Arts class on Tuesday and Thursday afternoons until 2:45PM. This is called Invitational Tutoring and students must be invited to attend.

Please send me an email with any questions you may have about my tutoring times.
