At Collinsville High School, we offer a variety of tutoring options to help students succeed academically. Tutoring is an essential resource that provides students with the opportunity to review and discuss academic content in a one-on-one or small group setting.

While tutoring can certainly help improve grades, its greatest value lies in helping students better understand assignments and retain important knowledge. By working closely with a teacher, students can gain a deeper understanding of challenging topics, clarify their questions, and reinforce what they've learned, leading to improved academic confidence and long-term success.

We encourage all students to take advantage of our tutoring services to support their academic journey.  Please click this link to learn more about these opportunities and when they are offered.
