Why Us

Sure, flying first-class might bring you across the Atlantic very comfortably. And that brand-name bag's zipper comes with a lifetime warranty. You can put a price on tickets and purses, but not on education. Arcadia High School Peer Tutoring combines the skill of tutors with the sociability of peers, creating the optimal environment students need to learn well.

Our tutors are first screened to ensure they have mastery of the topics which they wish to tutor. They then go through a probationary period to ensure that they are capable of relaying their mastery of their subject to the student in a fashion that truly helps the student understand the subject in question. Tutors must meet both academic requirements and program standards to stay and volunteer with us.

In order to provide quality assistance that will best allow the student to succeed both in class and at home, tutors are also trained to respond to a variety of situations that the student might be facing, with help in such matters as organizing and prioritizing. The training tutors receive also helps tutors to connect with tutees on a deeper level of understanding.
