Academic Tutoring
Academic Tutoring

We partner with Pam Smith Tutoring to meet the needs of Osseo Area Schools families. We will talk with you about your child’s academic needs, personality, learning style and interests before matching them up with a tutor. Every effort is made to provide a tutor that will work well with your child to establish an effective one-on-one relationship. Most students need to bring the materials and supplies (book, worksheets, test, quiz, etc.) to each session. The tutor can also work with materials provided by the Osseo Area Schools Teaching and Learning Department or may bring their own instructional materials as well. We tutor directly from the district’s curriculum, so students can make grade level progress in their classes. The tutor’s role and commitment are to teach your child key concepts and to help them understand the subject content. For more information, contact Community Education at 763-391-7242 or communityeducationye@district279.org
