OH students once again have the opportunity to receive academic help after school in the LRC. After a brief delay in implementation this fall, teacher-led after-school tutoring is available on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays from 2:34-4:00 p.m.
“If we have a lot of students with a lot of different topics and there’s two teachers, we usually split and try to see who we can help the most,” said OH science teacher Cynthia Vick.
All subjects like math, science, and English have several teachers who stay after-school for students who need extra help practicing skills they are currently learning.
“For the English tutoring, the only resources we tend to need are the student’s assignment sheet, sources (or novels, if appropriate), and the work they have already completed for the assignment to date,” said OH English teacher Tracey Contino.
Teachers suggest that students bring in curriculum materials so that it is easier for them to understand what the student needs help with the most. This tutoring tactic is effective for students who need the most help with a specific topic they are learning in their class.
“There’s a lot of camaraderie and social support there and students helping other students too,” said Vick.
Students have a big support system when it comes to learning or getting better at any subject. During after-school tutoring, rest assured, students will have the support from teachers and peers that is needed.
“I would definitely suggest tutoring to another student; tutoring is like free resources and help and you should definitely utilize it,” said OH sophomore Madelin Glynn.
Students who have attended tutoring in the past suggested taking advantage of this time because it is effective and free.
“My favorite part of tutoring is the smiles I see at the end of a session from a student satisfied by their own progress,” said Contino.
