Appointments - Once the application is received, Tutor Time staff will call you to schedule the first appointment. Tutor Time works on an appointment basis. Students are given one-hour appointments between 10 a.m. and 3 p.m. at Blitman, or between 10:30  a.m. and 3:30 p.m. at the Boys and Girls Club. Each time the student comes to Tutor Time, they may arrange their next appointment. Because of high demand for tutoring, we cannot guarantee that students will get the same appointment time each week; however, this policy provides the flexibility for families with busy schedules to schedule their next appointment at their convenience.

Parents and guardians may call the number below to set-up, reschedule or cancel tutoring sessions for their students. During regular business hours, Monday–Friday, you will be able to talk directly to Tutor Time staff to arrange appointments. Messages left at other times will be returned by the next regular business day. On Saturdays, between 10 a.m.–3 p.m., you will be able to leave a message and your call should be returned by a student staff member within an hour. 

P: (518) 276-3098

In addition, parents may call for weather-related cancellations. If there is no message on our voicemail about a closure, parents should assume that Tutor Time is occurring.
