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.
