Summer Tutoring Opportunities

For what seems like months I've been trying to brainstorm some unique ways for students to remain engaged in literature and learning this summer and here's what I've come up with. Please consider joining one of these adventures and sustaining a thoughtful and evolving mind throughout the summer.

AP Boot Camp
For students interested in taking my AP course next year, this is the ideal way to warm up to the rigor, pace and overall intensity of AP, without a looming grade and at a more reasonable tempo. We'll meet weekly for discussions and writing sessions where I will assign a new week's worth of work.

Dates: 8 Week Course Beginning June 29th and ending August 17th. We will meet for 1 1/2-2 hours on Monday's (or dates that accommodate student's schedules) at a location TBD.
Cost: $300
Goal: To prepare mentally and academically for the AP Literature and Composition Course with the end goal being a passing score on the AP exam, leading to college credit.

Creative Writing Consulting
Designed for active, ambitious students who are prolific writers and desire feedback from a practiced reader, this one-on-one program consists of 4 writer's conferences (one hour each) where students and Becky meet to examine student writing, as well as online interaction. Students may submit up to 100 pages of writing for Becky to critique.

Dates: Set up on an individual basis
Cost: $150
Goal: To provide aspiring writer's with constructive and supportive critique and encouragement.

A la Carte Tutoring
Whether it's help preparing for standardized testing, college essays or study skills, we will design a course of study that is tailored to your academic needs.

Dates: Set up on an individual basis
Cost $25 per hour
Goal: To hone and polish the skills and talents of young learners, making school a place of success.


FREE- Becky's Book Club
Every two weeks, we will meet at a local St. Paul eatery for food and fiction fodder. The first novel will be Twilight. Love it or hate it, Becky is going to read it. Attend if only to help pick out the next book. Students planning to attend should RSVP to r_mccammon@mac.com 24 hours before the event.

First book club meeting time and place: Cafe Latte, Thursday, July 2, 11:00
Cost: FREE
Goal: Fun and reading enrichment!
