Course Description: Students work under the direction of the classroom teacher providing direct academic assistance to other students, most often in mathematics, but sometimes in other areas. When not providing direct student assistance, tutors may perform other functions to support the classroom teacher. Students must be highly responsible. AVID Tutors must receive training as required by the AVID program. AVID Tutors and Academic Tutors are often given priority for openings at paid positions in the after-school study center. Tutors will only be assigned to the AVID elective and ELD courses.
