Math tutoring program starts Monday
Student Opportunities
Jillian Bulger will be hosting math tutoring for students grades 1 to 12 with the Jump Math Program. Students are divided into groups of up to four individuals, and are grouped based on age, grade, and comprehension. All tutors are qualified teachers, with a minimum Bachelor of Education. This will be an eight-week program and will begin Oct. 23, with hour-long sessions once weekly. The tutor will share progress with the parent and determine whether it is beneficial to continue the sessions. Group tutoring is $10 per student, and individual sessions are $25 per student. The sessions will be held at Hernewood Intermediate School and Westisle Composite High School. Payment is accepted via cheque or email transfer, and parents may claim tax credits on these payments. Contact info@ldapei.ca with any further questions.
