Tutoring Guidelines

Guidelines for Tutoring Times

• Our tutoring sessions are intended to support the instruction you are doing with your student at home.  The tutoring sessions are not intended to be individual classes where the CST is preparing individualized material in advance of their meeting with your child.  

• Please e-mail the tutor any work you would like them to help your child with preferably 24 hours before the tutoring session.  

  • Examples of work you might send in:  

    • specific questions your child would like answered during the tutoring session

    • a project they are working on

    • the essay they would like to have reviewed, etc.  

  • This is especially helpful where specific subject knowledge is required of the CST.

• You may only sign your child up for one 30 minute tutoring session per week per subject.  These tutoring sessions are limited, and we want to ensure that all students at Heartwood have the opportunity to receive support when they need it.  Please be considerate of others who would also like time with our tutors. If siblings need time with the same CST tutor, please consider having your students share the 30 minute slot so that the CST is able to work with more families. 

• Please focus on the 2 most important subject needs.  If you feel that your child is in need of more help, please reach out to your CST and discuss with them the available options that we have for children who are struggling or falling below grade level.
