What We're All About

Unlike any other after school program, The Tutor Shop’s focus is on making your life and your children’s lives easier. We know the last thing you want to do after a long day of work is tackle your children’s homework and studying needs, so we’ve raised the bar on after school programs to get your family back together! 

At The Tutor Shop, we will:

• Work with your children to get their homework done as well as complete assignments and projects.
• Help your children prepare for upcoming tests and quizzes.
• Work in areas in which your children need support and enrichment.
• Share your children’s progress with you on a daily basis.
• Maintain a low student to teacher ratio.
• Provide degreed, highly skilled teachers who specialize in math, science, social studies, language arts, technology, and more.
• Welcome input from your children's teachers.
• Provide snacks and physical activity students need after a long day at school.

The Tutor Shop Daily Schedule:

• We recognize that the children coming to our after school program have just completed a full school day, so our goal is to make sure they complete their work, but in a fun, caring environment that gives them something to look forward to each afternoon. Here’s a breakdown of a typical day:
• Upon being dismissed from their classrooms, the students are sent to our teachers in a designated location in the school. As soon as they arrive, the teachers take attendance.
• After attendance, the teachers take the students outside or to the gym for physical activity for 30 minutes.
• Following the physical activity, the students are served county approved snacks and drinks for 15 minutes, either outside or in the cafeteria.
• Back in the classroom, the students get out their agendas/homework assignments for teachers to check, followed by 15-20 minutes of silent reading. Students who need individual support in reading are helped during this time.
• When silent reading is over, homework begins, with teachers monitoring the quality of work, as well as working with any individual student who needs assistance. In addition to homework and projects, this is also the time they work on test preparation.
• Students who complete their work and have it checked by the teachers then move to the computers to finish any required website work, and to use educational websites for enrichment or remediation.
• The last hour of the session is spent on various fun activities, depending on the day of the week. It may be art, technology, or leadership/study skills which are included at no extra cost!
• “Fun Fridays” are where the students get to decide what they think would be fun to do. This is usually done during their Monday class meetings, giving them something else to look forward to at the end of the school week. Weekly accomplishments, birthdays, and special occasions are always celebrated!
