Tutoring
Plum High School provides students with two areas of tutoring:
1. Classroom teachers can tutor most days until approximately 2:50 p.m. The students must make arrangements with the teacher to ensure availability.
2. Peer tutors have been recommended by teachers to help students in a particular subject. To obtain a peer tutor, a student should speak with his/her counselor. Tutoring with a peer tutor can be arranged.
It is important to know that both of these services are free of charge.
