The Classical Liberal Arts Academy (CLAA) offers private tutoring meetings as an optional support service for students and families who wish to receive personal guidance. These meetings are not a substitute for the standard academic program, but a way to help students overcome challenges, clarify questions, and improve their studies.
1. Scheduling and Payment
- Private tutoring meetings are scheduled in advance through the CLAA website.
- Meetings are held via Zoom.
- Each meeting requires payment at the time of scheduling.
- Tutoring is available to students enrolled in any course, whether through standard or premium enrollment.
2. Purpose of Tutoring Meetings
- Tutoring meetings are designed to support—not replace—independent study in the CLAA program.
- Meetings help students:
- Clarify lesson content they are struggling to understand
- Receive direct answers to specific questions
- Get feedback on their performance in quizzes, exams, and written assignments
- Develop strategies for improving study habits and mastery
3. What Happens During a Tutoring Session
- The session begins with a review of the student’s current progress, focusing on recent assessments and activity in the Study Center.
- The student may bring specific questions or areas of difficulty to discuss.
- The instructor provides explanations, guidance, and targeted instruction related to the student’s active coursework.
- Students may receive recommendations on how to study more effectively, what to focus on next, or how to correct weak areas.
4. Tutoring Does Not Replace Normal Study Requirements
- All students must continue to complete their regular CLAA coursework independently.
- Tutoring meetings do not count as assignment submissions or course credit.
- Students are still responsible for completing all lessons, assessments, and required examinations.
