CAMS is looking for Tutors!
Classical Academy Middle School is looking for High School Students who might be good writing and math tutors, who understand the summit platform and willing to help out some middle school students. You would be recommended to parents as private tutors, and it could be an opportunity to get tutoring experience. And if you choose to volunteer your time, you could use it for Community Service Hours!
If you are interested, you need to be in good academic standing, recommended by teachers (formal recommendations aren't necessary), and willing to work demonstrate patience and flexibility while working with younger students.
