Tutors are available by appointment from 3:30-9:00PM. 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.
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. Science & Adobe Peer Tutors are coming soon!
If the Drop-in times don’t work for you or you need extra help at another time, feel free to contact all of the tutors at tutors@navajoprep.com or individually via the emails listed below to make additional arrangements!
