Tutorials
Students have begun discussing the Tutorial Process. AVID tutorials are 40% of our week and are of great benefit when utilized by students. Those who come prepared to tutorials and participate fully see an increase in their core class grades and GPA. AVID students are receiving around $40 a week of tutoring for free. If you have questions about tutorials and how they work please feel free to contact us. The following video is also helpful.
