Tutoring
Program Goal
Our goal is to maximize student understanding and achievement in each subject area. We aim to support the classroom teacher and provide supplemental instruction to aid students in mastering skills and concepts and to enrich his/her learning experience.
Program Description
Academic Support Services offers tutorial services to middle school and high school students. Individual and small group tutoring will be provided in each content area. The program coordinator will work directly with the tutors and teachers to structure tutoring sessions for the students to best meet their needs. Tutoring sessions will be with skilled adult tutors. Homework help sessions will also be offered with high school students.
Program Commitment
A nine-week commitment is recommended. Each student will be reevaluated at the end of each nine week grading period. It has been found that tutoring is most effective on a continual and consistent basis. However, we can review your child’s placement in the program at any time.
A registration form must be completed and returned to the program coordinator, Jennifer Brewer (HS) 624-9064 or (MS) 624-9063 or e-mail at jbrewer@bbschool.org. The student’s teacher will be contacted and a placement with a tutor will be made.
Program Policies
Cancellation
A commitment is made to the tutor upon enrollment in the program. Tutors will prepare for lessons weekly. If your child cannot attend a session, you must give 24 hours notice to the tutoring coordinator. If your child is not at school the day of the session or goes home early and will not attend the session, you must contact the tutoring coordinator as soon as possible (24 hours notice may not be possible in this situation). It is not the responsibility of the school office. You will be responsible for payment of the session if the cancellation procedures are not met.
Program Payment/ Fees
The cost of each session may vary according to the experience of the tutor, the subject, and the size of the tutoring group (individual or small-group). Individual fees vary from $25 - $50 for an hour session. Homework help fees will be $10 an hour. Fees will be set at the time of enrollment. Payments are to be made to BBS and sent to the business office marked ATTN: Jennifer Brewer, Tutoring Program. Sessions are to be prepaid by the month.
