The Study Hall is currently enrolling students in math and reading tutoring programs. Summer time is the perfect time to brush up on skills and to avoid the summer slide. Typically students come in for an hour long session once or twice a week depending on need. Our certified tutors design programs specific to each child, building it around his or her strengths and weaknesses.

We have 12 wonderful tutors on our staff in Rockport who can tackle most subject areas. Tutors like Kathy Cook who joined our team in the fall of 2017. She earned her M. Ed. in Elementary Education from UMass Boston.  Since that time, she has worked with children of all ages and learning styles to improve their reading, writing, and math skills.   She has extensive experience with elementary and middle school children with learning challenges, making accommodations and designing and implementing IEPs. 

Kathy is a literacy specialist, trained in several reading programs including Orton-Gillingham, LiPS, and Project Read.   She stresses the importance of keeping the material interesting and actively engaging the student at all times.  Kathy thinks the keys to success in the academic world are having a firm foundation in the basics and the confidence in yourself that you can do more.  She is looking forward to helping students accomplish both those goals through tutoring while having fun too!

We also recently hired math tutor Chris McBride who has his B.S. in Mechanical Engineering from Oregon State University. Before tutoring Chris had a career in aerospace that found him working on commercial Boeing aircraft, a high-altitude reconnaissance drone for the military and the proposed replacement for the space shuttle (ARES 1) for NASA. He is currently working with upper level math students in Algebra II, Pre-Calc and Calculus. 

One to two hours of tutoring a week during the summer months can make a world of difference in the fall when kids transition back to school! Call The Study Hall today at 236-3949 to enroll your son or daughter or email Rockport@thestudyhall.com for more information.
