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.

Support Offered By Student Success

Remedial Tutoring

Remedial tutoring is designed to reteach material that the student did not master in class. Remedial tutoring usually involves specialized teaching methods designed to enhance understanding and we recommend that students attend two sessions/week.

Classroom Support Tutoring

This type of tutoring is designed to bolster the student’s understanding of current classroom instruction. It may involve extra practice or specific teaching methods.

Homework Helper Tutoring

Some parents ask tutors to supervise and support their child’s homework. In this situation, the tutor is supplying academic support where needed.

Coaching

Coaching is very different from tutoring in that the purpose is not to teach specific academic content, but rather to directly teach and then support the student in managing time, planning and organizational issues. Coaches meet with students once a week to guide the student in developing goals for completing responsibilities both in and out of school. The student makes a weekly plan and reports to the coach daily on progress toward those goals.
