As an ACT, SAT, Reading, Writing, and Homework Support tutor, much of my clientele comes from students that either attend local schools or are part of distance learning programs. The reasons why the students are in these programs are about as diverse as the students themselves, as well as the wide range of programs.
The U.S. Hockey's Men's Development Program is located at a hockey rink near my tutoring location, and many of the students there were previously schooled elsewhere throughout the country before being accepted into the program. These students attend Michigan Virtual University because their year-round intense practice schedule does not allow them to make it to physical classes on time.
Oakland Flex Tech Academy is located within walking distance of my tutoring location as well. It combines in person and virtual learning opportunities. There is a preconception among students there that they are sent to that school by their parents because they are either "problem kids" or "couldn't cut it" at a "normal" school, but that is not always the case.
