      Is Tutoring Needed?

      If a student struggles to earn desired scores, it may be a sign that tutoring is needed.  Tutoring can help a student to learn how to complete assignments independently in the future.  In a private tutoring session, Mr. Michael will review assignments with a student, discuss the problems and help complete the assignments properly.  To schedule a tutoring session, click here.
