The Math Lab and Writing Lab at Cannon are looking for students interested in becoming peer tutors for the 2024-25 school year!


What: Interest Meeting for Peer Tutoring in Math Lab or Writing Lab
When: Lunch, the first 20 minutes, Wednesday, April 17th
Where: 606, the Academic Resource Center (ARC)
Who: Any upper school students interested in peer tutoring. You DO NOT have to be an “expert” at math or writing. Rather, we are looking for people who are curious, friendly, and responsible. We will train you on what to do.
Why: “By learning you will teach, by teaching you will learn.” We know that students often learn best from each other. You will be giving back to your school and community through service. You will also learn a lot from the experience, and we believe, find that helping others is a lot of fun!
How: Email–or find–Mrs. Miller, Mrs. Vreeburg, or Mr. Scurlock with your questions. If you are even a little bit interested, come to the meeting to find out if it would be a good fit for you.
