What are Tutorials?
Twice each week, students engage in tutorials, in which tutors work in small groups with AVID students to analyze points of confusion (called POCs or TQs) from core classes. Tutorials operate similarly to college-study groups, where they analyze their learning in order to gain clarity. As you can learn from those who tutored in the past, it is a rewarding job; tutors often become mentors for students who have dreams of attending college.
When are Tutorials?
Every semester, every year. Tutorials are typically held on Tues/Thurs, or Mon/Weds, depending on each school's schedule. Tutorials happen during regularly-scheduled class times and will vary from site to site.
