How can I stay on track throughout my high school years?
Do you live outside the area and need a web-based tutor?
College Connection partners with The Teaching Tutors!
The Teaching Tutors apply a homeschooling method of teach-tutoring to students who attend traditional schools and work with them on the classes that they find most difficult to ensure that they fully, and not “kind of,” grasp the material. They teach-tutor students, and assess what fundamental skills the student may have missed in the subject area in previous years and teach them the skills. A student struggling in Algebra II, for example, may just be lacking a strong foundational understanding of fractions, variables, and graphing that he or she should have mastered in earlier grades.
