Questions

  • I've filled out the form and I still haven't heard back from a tutor. When will I hear back?
    If you still haven't heard back from a JHS tutor, we're still looking for someone who matches your availability! We have a large influx in students requesting tutors from elementary, middle, and high schools across the district and are checking to pair tutors and students each day.
  • My student's availability changed. Can I still get a tutor?
    Yes! If your availability changes at all and you still haven't been paired, please fill out the tutor request form again.
  • How will students and tutors meet?
    Students and tutors can meet in-person, virtually over video calling platforms such as Zoom, Google Meets, Microsoft Teams, etc., or a hybrid of both! It will depend on what your student is comfortable with.
  • Do you offer tutoring in any other subjects that aren't listed?
    Unfortunately, we have a limited capacity of tutors at this time and can only offer tutoring in the subjects listed in the form.
  • How long will student and tutors meet?
    Each individual student/tutor pair will discuss how long and when they would like to meet for tutoring, deciding what works best for them.
  • I want my student to be tutored in reading/writing. What should I select?
    If you would like your student to be tutored in reading or writing, please select "English - Elementary School" OR "English - Middle School" that corresponds to your student's grade level.
  • I have multiple students that I'd like to sign up for tutoring. How should I fill out the Tutor Request Form?
    If you have multiple children you'd like to sign up for tutoring, please fill out the form multiple times in separate entries.
  • Can we access recordings of tutoring sessions?
    Yes! If your student is in elementary or middle school and you would like your sessions to be recorded for security or review purposes, please indicate so on the form. This is completely optional, and as a reminder, parents are always welcome to sit in on sessions if they would like!
  • I've filled out the form but still haven't heard back from JHS Honor Society. What does that mean?
    If you haven't heard back from us, that just means we haven't found a student who matches your tutoring availability yet! We check the forms each day for student and tutor pairings and are all collectively working to match and email the tutors as quickly as possible.
  • My availability changed, but I'm still interested in tutoring. Can I still participate?
    Yes! If your availability has changed and you haven't been paired, then please fill out the form again.
  • I just received an email from JHS National Honor Society with a student match. What are my next steps?
    After receiving an email from us, please respond to confirm whether or not the pair works for you! You can then begin to reach out to the parent or student that you have been matched to and arrange how and when you will meet. Remember to keep track of your tutoring hours so they will count towards your hour logs!
  • I'm not in JHS National Honor Society, but can I still participate as a tutor?
    If you are in MCYAB, Key Club, NHS, Link Crew or any other volunteer organization (indicate in the form), you can participate as a tutor! Remember to keep track of your tutoring hours!
  • I emailed the student/parent and still haven't gotten a reply. What should I do?
    If you have not heard back and have been waiting a while for a reply, please email us at jhshonorsociety@gmail.com to let us know.
  • I'm in NHS and I signed up for tutoring. Is there a limit to how many hours I can earn from tutoring this semester?
    No, there is no limit to the amount of hours you can earn from tutoring!
  • I'm completely unable to tutor anymore. What should I do?
    If you are unable to tutor, please let us know by emailing jhshonorsociety@gmail.com. Additionally, if you have already been paired and have reached out to the parent/student, please let them know that you are no longer able to tutor.
  • Can I tutor more than one student?
    Yes! If you are interested in tutoring more than one student, let us know by emailing us at jhshonorsociety@gmail.com or by indicating so in the additional comments on your sign up form. We are a bit short-staffed on tutors, so we absolutely appreciate your initiative to tutor more students. Additionally, we have recently launched a new group tutoring program! If you're interested in tutoring 2-5 students who are looking to learn the same subject(s), please fill out our tutor sign up form or email us. And for our NHS members — leading group tutoring will satisfy your leadership point requirement this semester :)
