Tutorials

Voluntary, extra classes are provided for remedial purposes. Tutorials are "extra" classes that CIC offers its students outside of normal school hours. Some students may require extra time to reach a particular standard of achievement, or to put extra effort into their written English. Some students may wish to aim for particular university scholarships or to gain very high marks in their course; after-school tutorials can thus also be used to provide challenging extension exercises and as an opportunity for students to refine their written English and exam techniques.
