The Providence Catholic High School Tutoring Center, located in the Bishop Blanchette Learning Commons, provides academic support and tutorial services to all students in all subject areas, while equipping them with the skills needed to be successful, independent, life-long learners.

Hours

The Tutoring Center is staffed with both certified teachers and peer tutors, and is open to students during the following times:

  • Periods 1-7 (Study Hall or TDT): Monday – Friday from 7:55 a.m. – 2:35 p.m.
  • After School: Monday – Thursday from 2:45 p.m. – 3:30 p.m.

During the school day, the Tutoring Center is staffed by teachers from a variety of different content areas. After school, one teacher is available to assist students and they will follow up with content specialists to ensure the needs of the students are met.

Services provided

  • Drop-Ins: The Tutoring Center is available for students to drop in with questions in any subject area at any level. Services include writing revisions, test preparation and concept review. When students drop in, they should come prepared with specific question/topic to discuss. No appointment is needed.
  • Referrals: Prior to accessing the services of the Tutoring Center for an extended period, students are first required to meet with their classroom teacher(s). Most student-learning problems can be addressed and successfully resolved by the classroom teacher(s).  If additional academic supports above and beyond those provided by the classroom teacher become necessary, the teacher will submit a formal referral to the Tutoring Center.  This referral leads to the development of a comprehensive, coordinated, and well-communicated plan of action involving the student, the classroom teacher, the parents and the staff in the Tutoring Center.
