General Information
Math Tutor- We have hired a tutor. He will be able to start working with students as soon as he is cleared by the school district. His name is Brandon Gutierrez. He is a Canada College Math Major! He will be available to work with students on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 10:15- 12:15 in our classroom. I fully expect all students who are taking an Apex math class to participate in this opportunity to get help with math. If you do not intend to participate you must remain on track in your Apex math class, and you must give me a good reason for not participating! If you are behind you must participate!
Students taking Canada Classes- Please keep up with your assignments, and stay on top of due dates, upcoming exams and papers that are due. If you need help, talk to me! You can also schedule an appointment with your professor, get help in the Learning Center and reach out to other students for support!!!
