After School Academic Support

ASA Community Science Center’s After School Academic Support Program is designed to provide tutorial support and teach the skills that are crucial for achieving academic success.  Each session is two hours long with trained and academically qualified tutors assisting students with homework and on-going projects.  Each week there will be “mini lessons” to teach academic skills so that students can eventually sustain and monitor their own academic success through useful tools, not only tutorial. 

PROGRAM HIGHLIGHTS 

  •     Homework tutorial program AND Academic success skills

  •     Program with qualified tutors, especially in writing, math and science

  •     Small tutor to student ratio, along with one-on-one support
