Tremper High School embraces the needs of struggling students by providing two methods of tutoring.  Student Government leaders organized a meeting with members of the National Honor Society to discuss the creation of a Peer Tutoring network.  About 30 students signed up as volunteers to tutor students at Tremper who need assistance.  They indicated the time of day they were available and the subject area they felt most confident in providing tutoring assistance.  Cori Meyer, the Student Government Vice President for Academic Affairs at the time, designed a referral form that allows for both self and teacher referral.  Within the first day of introduction, nine students had been matched with a National Honor Society tutor.  Presently, the peer tutoring system resides under the control of the Academic Affairs committee and encourages any juniors or seniors who have an interest in helping others academically to apply.  Forms can be acquired in the media center or in the main office.  Each year we try and recruit around 50 tutors.

In addition to this student-led program, student government also sponsors a staff assistance program. A teacher from the academic areas of math, English, science, and social studies is available every Tuesday and Thursday after school for tutoring services in the cafeteria.  Students simply need to show up and meet with one of the four available teachers on each of these two days weekly.

 It is expected that all students learn at different paces and with different approaches, whether instructional explanations are given by teachers or by a friend.  Tremper is prepared to provide sufficient services to meet the needs of all these diverse learning needs.
