ARISTA is Stuyvesant’s Honor Society. They offer several free services for students in need of help, including:
· One-on-one peer tutoring with a qualified ARISTA member - To sign up, students should create an account at arista.org and request a tutor for a class. Students will be paired with a tutor who excelled in that subject, who will then reach out via email to schedule a tutoring session. Tutoring sessions can occur during free periods, before and after school, and on the weekends.
Tutoring sessions can be conducted in school or in public areas. Note: Students may never tutor in homes of that of the tutor or student requesting.
Please keep in mind that while many tutoring requests are fulfilled quickly, a 5 to 7-day period should be expected before the tutoring session if tutors are unavailable to meet immediately after being paired. AIS (Academic Intervention Services) sessions are provided at school and may be attended during this time or if a substantial amount of time passes without being paired.
Students may submit as many requests for any class taught at Stuyvesant, but certain classes may not have any tutors available. Services through ARISTA include:
· Online essay editing
· Weekly after-school AIS sessions with a teacher and several ARISTA tutors
· Teacher-approved study guides online at https://stuyarista.org/study_guides
More than half of the student body will have at least one ARISTA peer-tutor by the time they graduate.
