AVID Tutorial

AVID tutors assist the classroom teacher with organizing students into small groups, reviewing student work and leading small group tutorials on a weekly or bi-weekly basis. The tutorial process uses a Socratic seminar style that focuses on asking students questions and guiding them towards greater understanding.

AVID tutors should be excellent role models: motivated, organized, successful college/pre-college students who believe in the AVID students’ success. Ideally, they should be enrolled in college/university or be seniors who are highly successful in managing a rigorous pre-college curriculum. Tutors will work in a supportive manner with secondary students and must be effective communicators who can support the AVID students’ growth.
