Paper Online Tutoring
WCHS offers a 24-7 academic support system that partners with schools to provide unlimited access to trained tutors via virtual technology. It allows students to instantly access specialized tutors in any subject, on any device, at any time.
The program enhances personalized instruction for students and helps to resolve time-management challenges for teachers.
Every student has unique needs involving their learning styles, motivations, aptitudes, academic strategies and personal goals. The program, named Paper, was created by an online tutorial company whose mission is “to deliver educational equity through personalized learning.”
Tutors are trained in socratic questioning methods to help lead students to solving their own questions.
Holly Davis, WCHS associate principal, said the district is excited to partner with Paper.
“Students will know for sure they have somewhere to go outside of school hours for support,” Davis said.
The administrator explained the program also offers extra assistance for students who are assigned to in-school suspension (CARE) as well as students who are absent from school.
“Paper provides students with highly individualized support when a teacher is not there,” Davis said.
