Tutoring Programs at the Foley Center
Thank you very much for tutoring me. My grades have really gone up and I actually have something to do after school. I realize you don't have to spend your time helping some middle school kids that you probably think are immature. You have helped me a lot. Thank you for putting together the whole tutoring thing. It's cool! -- Denton Middle School student
Students from Spring Hill tutor at middle schools, elementary schools, and in after school programs, giving children the extra attention they need for success. All these programs are within 15 minutes of the college and require 1-3 hours per week.
