Ms. Zielinski's After School Tutoring

Join Ms. Zielinski on Wednesdays and Thursdays from 3:30pm-5:00pm in the Library. This is a great place to come to work on school work with access to technology & printers. Even though her expertise is in math/science, she will be happy to help proof-read essays and trouble-shoot ideas! In addition, if you have a test you need to make-up, you may choose to talk to your teacher about doing so during this time.

Ms. Z.'s tutoring program is free and open to all Garber High School students. If you have any questions see Ms. Z in room 19 or email zielinskij@e-hps.net
