Our tutoring program operates immediately after
school, and the program is also offered during
the summer. The scheduling of these services is
determined by the district regarding the number
of days of tutoring in a week and the length of
the sessions. The services take place at the
students school site. Transportation is
determined between MTS Tutorial Service, Inc. and
each individual district. This is done according
to the Local Education Agency contract for
services. Once contracts are finalized with
districts and sites all transportation
documentation will be provided.

MTS Tutorial Service, Inc.
Our tutoring service uses MTSsoftware, a
software program that is aligned with the State
Standards for Arkansas. This program is
web-based and students work on computers while
being assisted by tutors. The program provides
reports detailing student progress on assigned
skills. Where students need more time on skills,
the software lessons are supported with printed
supplemental materials by Options Publishing.
Students work at their achievement level and not
at their grade placement level. MTSsoftware is
accessed through an Internet browser and students
enrolled with our service receive a subscription
to the software that lasts through the end of the
school year. Students may work on the program
outside of the tutoring sessions on lesson
content that has been individually assigned based
on their needs from any computer with internet
access. This can be from a library, home,
school, etc. . There are no materials, supplies,
or equipment students are required to provide to
participate in our program.

MTS Tutorial Service, Inc.
Our tutoring program provides tutoring to
students based on their achievement level as
determined by their pre-test data. The
instruction they receive is based on their
strengths and weaknesses and students work within
a content area, and on their level. Students
work in groups with a ratio of ten (10) students
per one (1) tutor. The tutor monitors their work
on the computer and provides instruction
individually while they work. Students who have
not mastered identified skills are instructed in
smaller groups with supplemental materials away
from the computer. Once the skill is determined
to be mastered, the student returns to the
computer and continues with the next set of
skills.
