Tutoring Program
ALTERNATIVES TO PRIVATE TUTORING
We also offer the following courses:
How to Use a Dictionary
Learning How to Learn
Grammar and Communication
Study Skills for Life
Communicating is Fun
Basic Study Manual
For each of these courses, the student uses a
study guide (a tailored list of study and application assignments).
This allows the student to move at his or her own pace, spending as much
time as needed to study materials. The supervisor is free to
circulate around the room and help each student as needed.
The
supervisor is trained to spot and address any study barriers that are
manifested by the student. This helps the student stay focused and
move more quickly through his studies.
For more information about course fees and
schedules or any other questions, please contact
