Hello,

Welcome to the last day of winter term! We are finishing a week early to allow us more time to register the record number of new students registered for the spring term, last count was at 85! As most of our classes are already at capacity, in addition to the extra classes we added this term we are adding another ESOL 4/5 class next term and hoping to find alternative options for those students we are unable to accommodate. Spring term starts on Monday April 12th. Stay tuned it's going to be a busy 3 weeks!

1. Spring Tutor Hours Log w/Updates

With the end of the winter term and start of the spring term so comes a new hours log. As of Monday, March 29th please enter your hours on the Spring Tutor Hours Log. You can also find the link on the sidebar of this blog. 

You will notice the spring term log is shorter as we have eliminated the report page. We heard that this was not working for many tutors and as the instructors feel they are getting good feedback from you via email and other communication we have removed it. 

We have added some new fields for the type of hours and you are now able to add hours for Match Meetings/Cohort Meetings/Class Observations/Mock Interviews:
