The Zone
The Zone is a safe, quiet space for students to do homework and get one-on-one homework help from our tutors. We provide computers for the students to use, as well as free printing for anything school related. We take students of all ages, grades and subjects (although Math and Science predominate the questions we are asked). Our tutors are friendly and patient, and most have experience either working with ELL students or are fluent or proficient in another language. For students who may need help with using the computer, the coordinators are trained in computer education, even for the most elementary beginner. We also are willing and able to help students study for the ACT and SAT and edit their college essays. Our hours are Monday-Thursday from 3:00 to 7:00 and Saturday from 1:00-4:00. Our flyer is here.
