Summer Tutoring
Some of our American Academy teachers like to offer private tutoring sessions during the summer months. We have listed those teachers here for your convenience and to give our wonderful, hard-working teachers a helping hand.
However, please note that American Academy is not involved in these private tutoring arrangements in any way. To make arrangements for summer private tutoring, you will need to contact the teachers directly using the contact info they have provided here.
*This information could change at any time based on state, local and health mandates. On campus tutoring will not start until June 1, 2020 (we will provide updates as we get more information).
Summer 2020
We will add tutors as we receive their information.

Teacher comments:
If tutoring in History, I am hoping to focus on working with students on critical thinking and evaluating important historical events. I would also like to preview some of the more complex topics for the students' upcoming year. If tutoring a student in writing, I would like to focus on strengthening academic writing (essays/written responses), and analyzing/evaluating primary sources or information, and then practicing written responses. I would also focus on some of the mechanics of writing a scholarly paper.
