Tutors at CHA
At Christiana, tutoring positions are usually filled by moms or dads of students. We do have several dedicated and wonderful tutors who do not have children in the program. In the elementary and middle school years, we are not looking for tutors who have degrees in education, but rather moms with a both an interest in teaching and a passion for a particular subject matter. Perhaps they have worked in the field or excelled in the subject matter in their own schooling. The Department Chairs have developed a Scope and Sequence and provide curriculum and syllabus development help.
We do hire outside tutors to fill the positions when necessary. In the high school years, the criteria for tutors change. Tutors will have more education and expertise in the subjects they are teaching at CHA in the 9th grade and above. For example, we have math tutors that come to us from the community, from McDaniel and have some moms who studied math in college. These individuals have built our math program over the years.
We do not expect every family to provide a parent to tutor classes. We also welcome families where moms (or dads) don’t want to teach but prefer to pay the tuition and drop off their child/ren. Parents who are not tutors are asked to volunteer as POPS (Parents on Patrol) throughout the year in order to help the program run smoothly.

Science is one of her favorites! She has a Bachelor of Science in Elementary Education (grades 1-8) and a Master of Science in Educational Administration.

It does not fear when heat comes; its leaves are always green. It has no worries in a year of drought and never fails to bear fruit."
