At Five Star we recognize how important it is to connect students with tutors who can help them flourish. Each student is paired with a tutor who is not only prepared to meet his/her academic needs, but who also possesses the ability to relate to the individual student. This enhances the learning process.
​
Once the appropriate tutor is selected, he/she will meet with the student and parent to discuss the desired goals. This also ensures that all parties feel comfortable. The tutor will then develop a program to meet the student’s personal educational needs. Sessions last approximately one hour and can take place once or twice a week.
