After School Tutoring

STUDENT SUCCESS PROGRAM GUIDELINES

Students who are notified are required to attend two days a week from 2-4pm, preferably Monday/Wednesday or Tuesday/Thursday.

** On days with early dismissal tutoring is available from 12:30-2:30pm unless otherwise posted on the library door.

2. There is always something to do. Students should come prepared to work.

We can proof-read, check, and help with the following:

Homework you need to complete
Homework you have completed (checking)
Drafts of writing that you working on (proof-reading)
Material that you can be quizzed on, such as vocabulary, study packets, outlines, flashcards, etc.
Drafts of projects or speeches
Getting a head start on other homework!

Students can also ask for help in the following areas:

Motivation/Procrastination
Organization
Teacher/classroom issues
Study skills/Test taking skills

3. The first hour of tutoring (2-3pm) students have access to NHS and UCSD tutors. The second hour of tutoring (3-4pm) students will have limited access to tutors, but can continue to work on assignments. Or they can request to meet with the academic advisor discuss student support topics (motivation, organization, etc.)

4. Students are required to sign in and sign out.

5. If there is a conflict such as a doctor’s appointment, students are responsible for coming another day that week or the next in order to make up the absence.

6. In the library SSP participants are expected to speak quietly and behave respectfully towards adults and peers.

SUGGESTIONS FOR A SUCCESSFUL EXPERIENCE

Students can be encouraged to:

1. Check grades on Aeries with a parent/guardian every week, and speak with teachers promptly about concerns (See Resources tab for a chart to track grades weekly.)

2. Do homework on the day it is assigned, and continue to seek help in tutoring or from teachers.

3. Make sure they are using their daily planner to keep track of assignments.

4. Use their school-provided live.net e-mail accounts to send/save materials and homework, and to communicate with teachers.

5. Prepare several days in advance for tests. Please notify me via e-mail if you would like tutors to be aware of an upcoming test.
