Tutors are available by appointment from 3:30-4:30PM. Drop-in hours are from 4:30-8:00PM in the BOSC Library. All students are welcome!

Navajo Preparatory School’s Tutoring program is open to all students.  We offer tutoring in Math, Science, Navajo Language, Writing and Spanish. NPS Tutors come from a variety of educational and professional backgrounds, but they have one commonality: they want to help all students reach their academic potential.  For a successful tutoring session, bring questions, notes, textbooks, and any class materials. You can expect a collaborative experience where you and the tutor will discuss concepts, review materials and practice strategies.

Tutoring is available for drop-in sessions 3:30-9:00 P.M. Monday through Thursday or you can schedule a time to meet with the Tutors via their Calendly links below to guarantee your times!

For an additional tutoring option for Science or other Tutoring topics, please check out the BrainFuse HelpNow database that provides live online tutoring and homework help from 2:00-11:00 P.M. MST,  https://www.brainfuse.com/highed/helpNow.asp?a_id=BACE164E&ss=&r=. If you need Science Tutoring, we are still looking for a Science Tutor, however, you can use the BRAINFUSE link for Science Tutoring options in the meantime.
