HTES Tutoring Program
The HTES Tutoring Program gives interested adults an opportunity to support a student on a one-on-one basis, typically for one hour a week during the school year.
What is asked of a tutor?
We ask our tutors to:
How does a tutor work with students with learning differences?
When 6th grade students arrive at Holy Trinity Episcopal School, most are one to two years below their grade level in reading, primarily because they have Dyslexia. The school is implementing Wilson Training, a special reading program to assist students with Dyslexia. Tutors will receive training in the program. The goal is to have students reading at grade level by graduation. The WRAT (Wide Range Achievement Test) Testing program is given to students to track their progress.
How many student(s) do tutors assist?
Most tutors work with one student although you may choose to work with more than one student. The
school Headmaster will assess the need.
How much time, per week, is asked?
The school year is 24 weeks (August to May). Tutors are asked to spend one class period (50
minutes) per week for 15 to 17 weeks with their student. The school understands that tutors
may have vacations planned during those weeks and that is understandable.
What kind of technology, computer skills and internet are needed?
Tutor or Mentor?
Tutors at Holy Trinity may mentor and tutor concurrently. However, some in the tutor program
may choose to mentor, exclusively. In addition to the tutor’s academic role, mentoring involves
developing the student’s life skills, including building self-esteem, time management, critical
thinking, and appropriate social behavior. Training and materials are provided.
How do I become a tutor?
You begin by completing the volunteer tutor screening process which includes a background check,
fingerprinting, completing the school’s child safety training course, and being interviewed by the
school Headmaster. Please contact Jim Kelly, Tutor Coordinator, to begin the process and for more information.
What is asked of a tutor?
We ask our tutors to:
- Tutor on a weekly basis during the school year, at an appointed time, with a single student.
- Assist with such tasks as reading and/or math, homework, class assignments and helping students catch up, due to missed days.
- Develop an appropriate social connection with the student.
- Stay in close contact with the school’s Headmaster and the student’s teachers, to provide feedback concerning academic advancement and continuous improvement.

- We will provide training materials for both math and reading.
- In the current COVID-19 environment, tutoring may be conducted remotely. In that case, tutors need to have a personal desktop or laptop computer with internet access. We will provide training on Virtual Tutoring applications and access to tutoring materials.

Holy Trinity Charity Golf Tournament
The next tournament is being scheduled in October 2021 at Harbor Hills Country Club in Lady Lake, Florida. Details will be released soon.
What are proceeds from our Golf Tournament needed for?
In order for our educational programs to be as effective as possible, we must maintain low student to teacher ratios and employ the best educators possible. All this take money. Even with financial support from our church and state funding programs, our school barely breaks even.
In addition, we want to help every student that needs us. Many of our students come from families that cannot afford the tuition and fees needed to cover our expenses.
The mission of our annual golf tournament is to raise funds for:
1. Scholarships for students with financial need
2. Expansion and development of new and current educational programs
3. Improvement and expansion of our school facilities.
The proceeds of our Annual Golf Tournament go into a fund dedicated for these uses. It is our intent to utilize the proceeds from this dedicated fund to continually improve our educational programs while also being able to reach more children in our community that need specialized assistance and cannot currently obtain it elsewhere.
