NJHS would like to run a peer tutoring program next year to support students throughout the school who may need extra help in one or more of their classes. NJHS members who register as tutors will be paired with a 6th or 7th grade student who they feel very comfortable with and one that needs/wants extra help in one or more classes. Tutoring may take place during study hall time and/or after school depending on the tutors after school activities.
