The National Honors Society (NHS) tutors and teachers have come together to help students in need regarding tests, homework, and quizzes. The learning center is extremely organized and prepared for a successful school year ahead.
“It is more organized than Afterpoints. More students are helping other students, like getting them better at their homework,” NHS tutor Julia White ‘25 said.
With this program, students have more access to assistance than ever before. On the center’s opening day Nov. 18, the library was packed with tutors and teachers willing to extend a helping hand. Vice Principal Daniel Hyliard, is especially excited for this new opportunity for students.
“I think that any opportunity provides success. Our goal is not to be better [than afterpoints], but to be more innovative and provide opportunities for success,” Hyliard said. “That is why we changed the location and created different zones for students to take part in.”
With this college-level set up, the flow of the center is constantly moving, and focusing on helping students to achieve their academic goals through one-on-one assistance to group discussions. Students tend to learn best from one another, which makes this program especially beneficial. NHS tutors are finding the turnout of the first day to be exciting, and a chance to learn and connect with the students themselves, and not just their homework.
“Afterpoints was fine, but it was just tutoring. This is more interactive and it is something that more people want to go to,” White said. “It is more fun for the tutors. It makes me want to tutor more because there are more people and more interesting things to discuss with them.”
