Aquinas College Tutors
Aquinas College tutors consist of teacher candidates (elementary and secondary – various content areas) and certified teachers. All tutors have completed at least one course (and often more) in literacy instruction before beginning the clinic tutoring. Tutors will use individualized lesson plans for each student and provide parents with a personalized report at the end of the tutoring sessions.
