During the academic year, Upward Bound students receive weekly tutoring. Tutoring services are provided on the Lake Michigan College campus in classroom settings. Students are required to attend one, two-hour session of tutoring a week, to be arranged with the Academic Programs Counselor. If a student's grade drops to a "C" or below, the student will need to attend extra tutoring sessions, as arranged between the Upward Bound Staff and the student, until his or her grade rises above a "C" again.

Tutoring sessions are held in the following subjects:

Mathematics

English Composition/Literature

English Foundations

Reading

Homework help is also available. Contact the Upward Bound Staff to arrange an appointment.

Academic Prescriptions
In addition to tutoring and homework help, the Upward Bound Staff meets to discuss student progress, both in school and in tutoring. From these meetings, Staff create Academic Prescriptions for each student. These prescriptions let parents/guardians and students know where the student's strengths and weaknesses lie and what both the parent and the student can do to improve upon strengths and overcome weaknesses.
