The English and Math Support Centers are now open in the TLC for all students in need of help.

The English Support Center can help with homework, college and supplemental essays, college applications, essay writing, reading comprehension, and much more. The Math Support Center can help students with completing assignments, revising topics, or learning topics they might have missed. 

“For English/Humanities-related content, we can work through those skills and concepts with you on a pretty thorough level,” English teacher Ms. Reed said. “For subjects outside of the humanities field, we can often walk you through directions and provide clarity on the assignment itself, even if we can’t help you with the skills and concepts directly.”

There is a teacher in the Support Center every period of the day. Students are able to visit during study hall or lunch.

The teachers working at the Math Support Center are Mr. Frank, Mr. Ruzbarsky, Mrs. DiPrimio, Mrs. Francisco, and Mrs. Rich. 

The teachers working at the English Support Center are Mrs. Anderson, Mr. Giangregorio, Mr. Healy, Mrs. Lucia, Mrs. Goldbeck, Ms. Smuniewski, and Ms. Reed.

“It’s not just for students that have a D or F in a class — anyone can go get help,” math teacher Mr. Walsh said. 

Students benefit from the support center in many ways.

“I was able to complete all of my work with someone by my side every step of the way if I needed help,” freshman Emily Bassett said. “They were able to help me with anything I needed.”

The Support Center provides every student with personalized help and allows students to work more efficiently. 

“It’s a chance to receive one-on-one attention that might not always be available to you in a whole-class setting,” Reed said. “It’s also a great way to get to know other staff members in the building — the more resources you have throughout your academic journey, the better!

The Support Center can be used for many different areas of school as well.  

“If you need some organizational support (setting up your Google Drive, organizing folders, backpacks, etc.), we’re here for that, too,” Reed said.

Teachers are always ready and available to help students. 

“The support center helps students by providing a safe space to ask questions, complete assignments, and get a better understanding of material given in their math class,” math teacher Mrs. Rich said.
