Student Success Program

Carolina Friends School contracts with professional tutors and coaches to provide services to our students on our campus both during the school day and after school. Student Success staff members have had background checks and are experienced in their respective fields.

We are restructuring the Student Success Program for the 2023-2024 school year, and will be updating our information here soon.

Procedures for Engaging a Student Success Tutor or Coach

Procedures for Engaging a Student Success Tutor or Coach

Once it is established that your child needs extra support, your child’s learning specialist will help you make an appropriate match for your child with a tutor or coach. They will discuss your child’s tutoring or coaching needs with you.

If you decide to pursue hiring a tutor or coach, you will complete whichever form is appropriate for your child:
- Early/ Lower School Tutoring Application Form (Elizabeth)
- Middle School Tutoring/ Coaching Application Form (Erin)
- Upper School Tutoring/ Coaching Application Form (Kersten)
Once they receive and process the application, the unit learning specialist will work with Ariel to match your child with a tutor or coach whose areas of expertise and schedules align with your child’s.
They will then share the name(s) and contact information with you and you can begin making a connection.
Once you and the tutor or coach have come to an agreement regarding time and place, they will share a Parent Tutor Agreement form with you via DocuSign. You can commence with tutoring or coaching after the signed agreement has been submitted.
