Tutoring Services
Tutoring
As a service to the community and to our students, Prentice offers individual tutoring in all subjects for all ages for both Prentice and non-Prentice students. Tutoring takes place before and after school. The tutors are highly qualified, understanding teachers who are Slingerland trained. The tutoring can address homework and organizational issues, or the tutor can design a curriculum to address the specific needs of the student.
For more information, please e-mail the tutoring coordinator at ajabajian@prentice.org or call 714-538-4511, ext. 53, and leave a voice-mail message.

Assessment and Testing
Is your child bright, but having difficulty with reading, spelling, handwriting and/or spoken/written language? Your child's education is in your hands...Let us help!
As a service to the community, Prentice provides assessment and testing on-site at affordable rates. Our psychologist administers IQ testing as well as achieve-ment testing. Several members of the faculty are qualified to administer grade-level Slingerland screening tests. The screening, a series of language arts related tasks, provides information on a student’s strong and weak learning channels – visual, auditory, and/or kinesthetic. In addition we offer Saturday Slingerland Screenings from 8:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. on the following days during the 2007-2008 school year:
