Students in Mr Heiserman's summer math class are getting help from tutors from India in the Distance Learning program at Clemente.

The company Elevate Learning was contracted by Clemente to work with students this summer. Each student will get 25 hours of one-on-one tutoring by a personal tutor who is located in Mumbai, India.

"Each student works with the same tutor throughout the program to form a positive learning relationship," says Suhas Ghuge, President of Elevate Learning. "Each student has an individualized learning plan based on a pre-test and the curriculum is alligned to supplement classroom instruction. Student progress is monitored by weekly formative assessments and the results are shared with the teachers and administrators."
