>Hello,

>I am doing some research on private tutoring and private schools and I
>would like to hear from other schools about their experiences with this
>phenomenon.
>
>Specifically, I'd like to know:
>
>Does your school have a policy about allowing private tutors to work
>with
>students on campus?
Students may not have tutors on campus during school hours unless they have a documented learning difference. We do have some students meet tutors after school on campus, but the tutors must check in with the office and be assigned a room.
>
>
>Are private tutors screened (CORI check or other)?
No, but that is an interesting point.
>
>
>Any sense (estimate/guess) of how many students have private tutors?
I do no not
>
>
>For what subject/reasons do your students seek private tutors?
I think parents/students want a concentrated one-on-one time, and in some cases the student for whatever reason does not understand the explanations by the teacher
>
>
>Does you school have an academic support center/learning center?
Yes
> If so,
>how many students are seen for tutoring "in house"?
Yes. We have a homework help session after school everyday in the middle school, and we probably average 10-15 girls a day.
>
>
>
>Does your school have part time/full time tutors on the faculty?
No
>
>
>
>Why might students seek private tutoring as opposed to using their
>school's in house learning center?
Same answer as above
>
>
>I would really love to hear others' perspectives on the topic!

>Many thanks,
