Affordable Tutoring (imported)

May 19, 2009 - 8:41 am EDT

Most students who need summer school can't afford to pay the actual cost of summer school. a simple program that would enrich the information learned in class with a small student to teacher ratio, say 3 would go a lot farthter to prevent the need for summer school.

I have one for math and science for $10.00 per hour per week. Can summer school cost be lower with a student to teacher ratio of 3 or less?

Math and Physics Club

A place where 6, 7 and 8 graders can learn age and skill appropriate math and science for $10.00 and hour per week for up to 3 hours a week. Programs for algebra I and II students, trigonometry and geometry students as well as calculus I, II and III students are available too, although prices are higher, see www.affordabletutor.org for details. At a time when our public schools are suffering budget crises and performance woes, would not it be great to have a place where students can enrich their public, private or homeschooled math and science educational programs for $10.00 a week? Classes are limited to 3 students to maximize the student teacher experience. Classes are taught by an engineering physicist whose experience includes NASA Ames, Naval Surface Weapons Research Center, Fermi Laboratory, two NASA Mars Mission Research Centers and 27 years experience teaching 6 grade through adults as old as 62. All programs are self paced and guided study. Each program is designed to identify and address weaknesses, develop interest and skills as well as challenge each student’s limits through independent study skill development. If you know of some one who can benefit from this opportunity, pass the word.
