How about that physics final? Or that English Lit. paper due Friday? Yep, it all comes down to one thing: the desperate cry for HEELLLP!! After the decision of get- ting help has soothed your nerves, the ques- tion of what kind of help is still confusing. There is expensive private tutoring, I college nnonng, csr tutoring, composition conference center tutoring, 84 parent tutoring -the possibilities seem endless! At Torrey Pines two answers seem to be the most common among students, CSF and private tutor- ing, such as the local Educational Tutoring Center ' fE.T.C.l. The unique CFS tutoring program along with the comp. center is a rare example of a school giving great, direct help for free. CSF tutor- ing is available for almost any subject. Using CSF tutoring is a good decision for those who need help in the lower mathematics and science, ie., I algebra, geometry, biology etc. As CSF tutor, Jamie Harker stated, lt is a great option for the freshman and sophomore levels but when you get into higher level classes, such as chemistry and physics, it gets tough to find tutors who are still in school. Although CSF is always looking for eligible tutors, they are able to help an average of 110 students. The CCC Center is another prime example of excellent tutoring that is available through Torrey Pines. It has flourished as a pilot organization. They started as a part-time center that helped a few kids with english papers to a full time organization that has a seperate room with a large staff and the very competent advisor, Blaze Newman. They now help every type of student dealing with essays for English, History, Science and even college applications. The CCC Center is considered to have top qualified tutors who really help the students objectively. As tutor Susan lVlcGrath said, uEvery kind of writer comes in here, both good and bad. because basically it's a great place to catch mistakes before your teacher does. When one needs help beyond school tutors, they usually tum towards the Educational Tutoring Center in Solana Beach. Here there are about 12 tutors who go through intensive testing and inter- viewsiust to be put on trial for 3 months. For a fee of S18-25 per lesson, they tutor in almost every subject including giving special therapy and SAT classes. Founder, Delina Robair holding a tvl.A.E.D.C.A.E.T., has created her program with the belief that they work to help each person fulfill their own poten- tial: to becme all they have the capacity to be. At E.T.C, whe believes it enables people to have in- dividual time to team in hisfher unique teaming style which is assesed and fulfilled by professi- onals. Because it is estimated that 25-30?-, of the schools population in the U.S. has a teaming dis- ability, Robair stated that 'the schools logistically cannot treat them but the school to be effective, can accomodate them by offering and working with altematives such as E.T.C. E.T.C. offers time for people too tramitized by teaming disabilities to explore and extend their interests by combining unique subjects for them to master such as speed reading and the computer. Overall Delina Robair programs stems from ideology That a strong body builds a strong mind and practice makes perfect!
