Academic Tutoring
Fostering students’ academic potential is central to the mission of The Wooden Floor.
One-on-One Tutoring: Any student whose GPA falls below 2.0 is matched with a student tutor from the University of California Irvine, Chapman University, Cal State Fullerton, Cal State Long Beach, and other community colleges, or a volunteer tutor. Two times each week, these students receive homework assistance in the Betty Hutton Education Center at The Wooden Floor. Fifty-five percent of students who participated regularly in the 2004/05 tutoring program increased their GPA. Tutoring is scheduled to accommodate students’ dance class schedule and academic needs.
Drop-In Tutoring: All students are encouraged to come into the Betty L. Hutton Education Center for a quiet study time before or after their dance class, and to get homework help from available staff and tutors.
The Wooden Floor thanks the Center for Education Partnerships at UC Irvine for providing several tutors during the 2009/10 school year.
More Tutors are Needed! Volunteer as little as two hours a week in our education center. Tutors enjoy personal and positive relationships with students and may choose to tutor students from 4th – 12th grade.
