If your student is struggling with the material they can come to after school tutoring. I will be free for tutoring on Mondays after school from 4:30-5:30. If these days do not work with your schedule please contact me using my email. I can adjust my schedule if contact is made in advance. Make sure that your student has an after school parent permission form and has a ride waiting for them before 5:30.
