Tutoring For Peninsula AVID

Ask yourself if you would drive to an unknown location without the comfort of your personal GPS giving you turn-by-turn directions in a sultry voice? Now imagine making that wrong turn -you’re late for the premier of the new Bill Nye -The Science Guy movie. Unless you’re feeling a bit adventurous and spontaneous like a negative delta G thermodynamics reaction, you wouldn’t risk getting lost. That is where, we, the tutors step into the scene to help guide students to success.

This past September, we began tutoring students enrolled in the AVID Program at Peninsula High School. In these short few weeks, we have seen tremendous growth in these students. Every lesson starts with an enthusiastic cry from a student eager to announce his level 3 question that he or she is extremely proud to present. They may not always have the answer to eachother’s questions, but they work hard, cooperate and dissect the problem until the answer is discovered. Above all, the students recognize that the tutors’ duty is to facilitate the discussion rather than regurgitate information and thus, they take it upon themselves to be proactive and independent learners.

Succeeding in school, and in life, takes more than just book smarts. Organization, time management and prioritization are few of the plethora of study skills we practice and preach at AVID. We all know how easy life can be if someone is there to hold our hand and walk us through life – prevent us from making silly mistakes while encouraging and nurturing our curiosity. The tutors at AVID and the Hut are here for that very reason; to serve as your personal GPS. So save yourself from unnecessary stress and worry and stop by Study Hut for a personalized guide to your school and life thereafter.
