Tutoring

The tutoring program is an integral element of the Flagship curriculum. At the elementary and intermediate levels, mandatory tutoring groups meet once or twice each week. Flagship students participate in groups with classmates who function at the same proficiency levels. Tutors reinforce the material covered during classroom instruction, in close collaboration with the teaching faculty, through directed exercises and focused support. Tutors also organize language workshops, in which a particular grammar topic (e.g., verbal aspect or verbs of motion) or modality (listening, reading, speaking, writing) is emphasized.

As students draw closer to the Capstone year, mandatory tutoring is intensified. A rigorous schedule of one-on-one tutoring sessions will be introduced, with Flagship students participating up to three hours each week.
