LAKE WALES – Lake Wales High School is looking for local college students to act as math tutors.
“College students who are successful in math can provide tremendous help to some of our high school students,” said Principal Donna Dunson.
The college students will be paid for their time. A tutor who works 15-20 hours a week for the entire 30-week program could earn as much as $7,500. The high school is receiving a private grant to underwrite the cost of the tutoring program.
Applications are available locally at Warner University (Dawn Meadows), Webber International University (Stephanie Leone), and Polk State College (Kathy Jessie). The LWHS front desk also has applications. Deadline to apply for the tutoring positions is Oct. 1.
For more information, please call Lake Wales High at 863-678-4222 ext. 129.
