Private Tutoring

The Middle School does not encourage private tutoring. Students are promoted to or admitted at the Middle School because of their ability and, ordinarily, whatever remedial assistance a student needs should be provided in the classroom. However, there are two cases where private tutoring may be necessary:

• To cover material a student has missed due to a long absence from school.
• In exceptional cases, to fill specific gaps that a student may have in prerequisite knowledge.
  

Parents should inform the school if a student is being tutored. In addition, a special form for private tutoring must be filled in by the teacher and approved by the Head of Department and Director before tutoring begins. An IC teacher may not privately tutor any of his/her students. The College will not be involved in financial arrangements for private tutoring. Tutoring should be for a relatively short period.
