Academic tutoring
If your student is struggling in a class, the best place to ask for help is with the classroom teacher. Many teachers offer before/after school or lunchtime support. Please contact the teacher directly to check their availability. When additional support is needed, please contact your student's counselor for a list of private tutors in the community. Counselors cannot recommend certain tutors, but we can provide you with a list of people to contact.
