North Vancouver resident Lila Griffiths, who operates the Homework Centre, said the ser- vice uses group tutoring rather than individual or peer tutoring and that groups are kept to a maximum of six students and are organized according to age when possible, “This not only keeps the cost down ($10 an hour) but has the added advantage of making the students aware they are not " isolated- cases (and) that there are others with similar needs. “The students needn’t feel em- barrassed to ask questions or ad- mit they don’t understand. -Con- sistently completing homework builds self-esteem,” said Grif- fiths, who has organized the North Shore branch with Teni Dembicki Both are certified teachers. The Homework Centre provides tutoring for students from Grades 1 to 12 and the aim is to provide assistance to studenis whose pres- ent homework approach is not working.
