Tutors


Students and parents:

Many of you know that Joe is available for tutoring on Tuesdays and Thursdays through the end of the school year (mostly a math, science, and engineering focus).  Dan will also be tutoring again on Mondays and Wednesdays, beginning this week and also continuing through the end of the school year.  He has mostly helped students with Chinese, but also has a math and science background as well.  Both Joe and Dan will be available on their respective days from 3:30-4:30.  As we approach the end of the year, we hope that many students take advantage of the help our tutors can provide.
