For students who need help with any language taught at the high school there is tutoring available to them. Spanish, French, and German tutoring takes place every Thursday from 2:45 pm to 3:15 pm.
Students can go tutoring if they need help with the language they are learning. Some Spanish teachers have decided to give their students extra credit if they go tutoring.
Students who want to receive extra credit will receive a slip of paper at 3:15 pm for them to turn into their Spanish teacher to get between two to four points of extra credit.
Upperclassmen in Spanish IIII and AP Spanish who are also in Spanish National Honors Society have to help tutor the underclassmen at least one time each quarter so they can stay in the society.
Each Spanish National Honors Society member can receive one service hour by helping underclassmen in the tutoring sessions.
Students who are being tutored can bring the assignments that they are doing in class to get help on. They can also practice speaking, writing, reading and listening.
With finals coming up many students who go to be tutored have been asking for help studying for the big tests that are worth twenty percent of their grade.
There are four parts to the Spanish final. There are two parts that are taken before the final set dates which this year is May 21-23. Writing and speaking are taken before finals and listening and reading are taken the day of finals.
During the tutoring session on April 11th, there were five Spanish students that came to get tutored by Spanish National Honors society members. The five students received extra credit for being at this meeting.
Three of the students worked on work that they needed to complete for their Spanish classes. They are given EdPuzzles that they have to complete each quarter and so they were working on completing those and asking questions when they needed help.
The other two students were working on studying for finals. They were practicing there speaking with the students who were volunteering and tutoring them. They learned new transition words to make their speaking stronger.
Students who go to tutoring receive extra credit as well as get extra practice to help them in their spanish classes.
