2. TRF - Tutorial Request Forms (Tutorials)
Tutorials are twice a week, on Tuesday and Thursday and focus on the students' questions. It is the student's responsibility to create tutorial questions the NIGHT BEFORE, and then present them in class the following day. Our tutors are college students and new college graduates well versed in a variety of subject areas. It is their job to facilitate the tutorial process. Students who come without a TRF will still participate, but will not have the opportunity to earn "pre-work" points. See the video below to understand how to prepare for AVID tutorials.

3. Homework Help
Encourage your student to talk to their teachers to set up a time to come in before or after school to get extra help, ask questions, work on homework and whatever else they may need. If your student is not willing to ask, contact your student's teacher for them! Teachers would love to hear from you and you can work together to get your student extra help!
