UB Tutoring

Basic Concept

Every student no matter how academically prepared can benifit from some form of tutoring.  Upward Bound encourages all our students to seek out tutoring assistance when they feel input from a more experienced learner will help with their learning process.  Despite knowing that all students, no matter the level, need tutoring we've found that forcing students to get help has a negative effect.  All students have access to our online tutoring.  Tutoring this year is delivered by email.  To recieve tutoring services email contact us via upwardbound@moreheadstate.edu.  If you have any questions about online tutoring call your UB School Counselor at 1.800.5.UPWARD.

Tutoring @ School

Upward Bound Counselors have contacted your school counselors to ensure that you can utilize your school's tutoring services.  Most every school offers extra tutoring, from after school to Saturday School.  If you feel you need face-to-face tutoring contact your UB Counselor or your High School Guidance Counselor and we'll arrange tutoring services for you at your school.  You must make the effort to get these tutoring services.

Stipend Policy

Students are expected to keep their grades high and continually improve.  All students earn $30 stipend each month.  If you have a GPA lower than 2.0 for your current 9 week grading period then you will not receive any stipend for that grading period.  You will be placed on academic probation and will not recieve stipend until your GPA is above 2.0. 

If you see yourself slipping below a 2.5 or lower GPA range you need to seek out academic tutoring immediately.  Send your online tutoring requests to upwardbound@moreheadstate.edu, contact your Upward Bound Counselor or your high school guidance counselor to find out ways you can get tutoring. Again if you have any questions ask your UB counselor at your next school visit or call UB at 1.800.5.UPWARD.
