Tutors are an integral part of the Urban Scholars program. Most often a tutorial is one-on-one, occasionally tutors hold group study meetings.

All students are encouraged to take advantage of the knowledge and skills the tutors have to offer. Students taking a university course are required to meet with a tutor once a week.

Tutors are available to work with students everyday after school. During the summer, tutors work with students throughout the day offering tutorials, special workshops and cultural activities.

Advanced Tutorials
Tutors have also served as teachers instructing students in a particular subject area a student wishes to learn more about. For example, a recent graduate was taught calculus by a tutor because it was not offered at his high school and he wanted to learn advanced math for his college degree program.

Academic Standing
All students may sign up for tutorials, but students are required to meet with tutors if they are placed on probation or suspension.

A high school student will be placed on academic probation if, by the end of a school term, his/her GPA is below a 3.0 and/or the student received a grade lower then a C.
