Individual Tutoring
Individual tutoring is available during free periods, lunch, and certain after-school and weekend hours. It is recommended students purchase either College Board’s Guide to the SAT or Peterson’s The Real ACT Prep Guide. In those books, they will find real tests to take at home. After students compile questions from their work at home, they can meet with Learning Center faculty to get their questions answered and receive specific handouts and other resources to improve in particular areas.
Time: Please email Lorna Kocian to arrange times for individual tutoring.
Cost: $90 per one-hour session
All sessions will be held at Parker in the College Counseling/Learning Center section of the Student Services/Administration Building. Fees will be billed to student accounts.
Please sign and submit completed registration form to the Learning Center at least ten days prior to the class start date.
