Tutoring
Instructional support services are designed to help students
achieve their full academic potential. The instructional support services include
individual and group tutoring sessions as well as study groups aimed at
improving understanding and study skills. These services begin in week 3 and
end in week 16 of the semester. Teachers trained in the subject areas teach
most tutoring groups, although qualified student mentors, who have demonstrated
thorough knowledge in the subject areas, may conduct some tutoring groups.
