Academic Tutoring
Tutoring if needed or requested is at an extra cost to the student. We have a network of tutoring affiliates available for our students in each of our school affiliate’s state.
For RS students from China who are studying in the United States, specialized tutors have been hired, especially in the area of ESL (English as a Second Language). Tutors have their backgrounds checked and each has at least a B.S./B.A. degree from college. Most are state certified with special certification in ESL. In addition to ESL, RS tutors provide tutoring in the following areas: Reading, Writing, Language Arts, Mathematics (including advanced math), History, Homework Help, Physics, Chemistry and Religion.
