Have you ever felt like you’re falling behind at school or can’t seem to grasp what the teacher is saying. Well, with the start of the second quarter, NHS is providing a program for tutoring students in academic need.
It’s available for all grade levels, and you can schedule times that work for you.
“There is no specific skill gap,” said NHS advisor Ms. Alice Flarend when talking about the kinds of subjects for which students can seek help. “Students identify where they are struggling.”
Some of the most common subjects for tutoring are algebra and biology.
It could also be a good experience for the tutors to gain valuable skills that come with teaching and building strong relationships with the students.
Ms. F;arend said she helps support the tutors through personal conversations about student’s needs as well as possible things to try to make learning more available to them.
“They also earn NHS service hours, which is useful because members need 15 NHS each year to stay in the organization,” she said.
Tutors can be any NHS member who has taken the course being tutored or a more advance course. Tutors will use materials the teacher normally uses in class and make up their own questions and prompts.
” The tutors can clear up some murky topics like algebra or biology,” said Ms. Flarend, who called the program “a great opportunity for students to takes their skills set further … without … stress or getting overwhelmed.”
