Background

Excel Tutorial Service provides after school online tutoring in reading and math for children in grades K-5 who are below grade level in reading and math. Our goal is to help students low-achieving, from low poverty/low-income, immigrant students, and Limited English Proficient (LEP) most of these students don't have someone who can help them at home, and the parents do not speak English. We advice the parents to send their child to our tutoring center so they will get tutors who can speak their language. Students who have access to computer and internet can use our services online.

Approved Providers

All providers who adequately meet the criteria described in the application will be included on a statewide list of supplemental educational service providers.

Our tutors are college students or college graduates they will monitor the student while they are logged in smart tutor program and also provide one-on-one tutoring when is required.

Excel Tutorial Service opens September 1, 2010 and provides 2 hours sessions twice a week in school year and 4 times a week in the summer time.

Materials and Supplies

Providers are expected to furnish their own materials to use with students. Schools are neither expected nor required to copy materials or furnish materials for the provider to use with students. The use of worksheets and handouts is discouraged; rather, active learning activities and the use of manipulative usually engage students more fully and result in greater student achievement.

Providers must work with the LEA to create a Student Learning Plan Agreement for each student. Tutors will have a copy of students' assessment information and the student learning plan on site. Providers must be able to provide verification that the materials to be used with students are aligned and appropriate for student grade levels.

Service providers will be evaluated each summer. If violations are cited, the review committee will be convened in a timely manner in order that removal from the state's approved provider list, if necessary, takes place prior to the start of the school year. Violations of certain requirements may constitute immediate removal.
