Tutor – Rachel Rutherford
Math classes in this tutorial environment require a daily commitment from both parent and student. We will meet for instruction during our Monday class and go over lessons for the week. Day to day work is done at home under parental supervision. The tutor is available throughout the week to help as needed. Thursday one hour drop-in tutoring is available and encouraged! Students may sign up before school starts for a reduced rate. Drop-in tutoring is available for $15/week.
There will be a quiz at the beginning of each class. Most tests will be proctored by a parent, completed at home and turned in the following week to be graded. Mid-term and final exams are given in class.
Textbook (Not including Solutions Manual) will be available on Orientation Day for yearly rental: $10-Paperback / $20-Hardback
