Students’ daily lesson plans, guided by the yearly lesson plan, are adjusted weekly, to ensure compatibility with the individual student’s rate of progress.

 

Students are brought to the tutoring classroom at 3:15pm, so they can sign in and have a healthy snack prior to the beginning of the tutoring session.

 

Attendance is logged into the tracking system at the close of each class.

 

All student work is graded and placed in the student’s portfolio.  Students are tested regularly, with progress reports written, recorded and sent to parents monthly.

 

The coordinator and teachers are always available to speak with parents and students.  To facilitate this, an open house is held for parents, with refreshments and student files available for review, providing an opportunity to open a dialogue.

 

C.Y.O.’s tutoring program runs through the end of May. 

 

C.Y.O.’s Tutoring program has resulted in an average increase in student test scores of 57%.
