NINE STAR ACHIEVERS

 Tutors are certified teachers.

 Five months of after-school tutoring.

 We use Achieve3000, a web-based literacy program which helps students increase vocabulary and reading comprehension.

 Both computer programs have been proven effective by extensive research.

 Both computer programs are aligned with the Alaska state education standards.

 Pretests and ongoing assessments help us to find your child(ren)’s weaknesses and teach lessons to help your children improve standardized test scores.

 We find your child(ren)’s strengths and teach them strategies for success in their regular classrooms.

 Help with homework.

 Healthy snack and prizes for participation.
