How It Works
Tutoring Plus offers two cycles of tutoring sessions during each school year: October to January and February to May. Tutoring sessions are offered four evenings a week and enrichment programs are offered one evening a week. Students work with the same tutors each week (either one-on-one or in small groups) for the duration of the program (between six weeks and four months).

Step 2: Registering Your Child
Once you choose the program you want for your child, register by submitting a registration form.
When you register, we will need your child’s report cards, MCAS results, IEP, or any other academic records that will help us figure out best how to work with your child. You may submit your registration form by fax or by mail:
