The Learning Center offers organizational and academic support for College Prep students.

The LC is open every school day for students to drop by during breaks, free periods, and lunch, or to make appointments in advance. To secure an appointment time, students send an email to the LC staff member with whom he or she would like to meet. While dropping in is always welcome, appointments have priority over drop-ins.

In academic situations, the LC can offer support both before an assignment is due and afterward, help with test or paper corrections, and help with organization and planning. When coming to the LC for help on an assignment, students should bring the assignment and their work and have questions formulated in advance.

The LC staff includes:

Jennifer Tetler, Integrated Lab Science teacher, math and science LC support. Click here to email Jen. (Jen teaches 4th period, so she cannot meet then.)

Patricia Prewitt, English and writing LC support. Click here to email Patricia.

Raj Reddy, English I teacher, English and writing LC support. Click here to email Raj. (Raj teaches 5th period, so he cannot meet then.)

John Fanning, Freshman Foundations co-teacher and Partners Director. Click here to email John. (John is not on campus every day, and his schedule changes weekly, so advance appointments are necessary.)

Sharona Barzilay, Assistant Head and Academic Dean, should be contacted for more global issues, such as difficulty with reading comprehension, processing speed issues (need for extra time), diagnosed or suspected learning challenges, etc. Click here to email Dr. Barzilay.

The LC services include:

• One-on-one appointments to work with the LC staff (for homework help, assistance with test corrections, help with planning and organization, etc.)
• Peer tutoring
• Periodic workshops (feel welcome to email us with workshop ideas)
• Review sessions for upcoming exams
• A quiet place to do homework -- but not as quiet as the library. For example, the LC is a great place to do group work and peer tutoring -- situations that require conversation and thus might be too loud for the library. 
  
• A variety of helpful tools and tips, such as study tips for finals from your teachers and fellow students, as well as a study-schedule template.
