Program Description: Program Description:

FMP or Freshman Mentoring Program helps freshman adapt and feel more comfortable with the high school experience. Mentoring consists of helping with note-taking and studying strategies. Our tutors work with freshmen directly and as a group to guide them with whatever they need. Not only will the tutors provide guidance, but they help with academics as well. All tutors have gone through freshman year already and are on advanced paths, granting all tutors the ability to help freshmen with any classwork/homework they are struggling with.
