Finding a private tutor may be more difficult. If your child gets along with a particular teacher, ask the teacher if he or she tutors after school. Ask other parents for recommendations. Check the bulletin boards at your child's school. Churches and other organizations.
Many places offer tutoring after school or on the weekends.
Check around your neighborhood for possible options or call the Literacy Volunteers of Leon County at 487-4444 for a referral. The Council of Volunteer Reading Tutors, 422-1471, offers limited tutoring slots to students. If you or your organization would like to sponsor a tutoring program, the Tallahassee 25, a professional and civic organization, may be able to provide the volunteers. Call Mayo Woodward at 222-1618 for more information. Sharon Rauch is a lifestyles reporter for the Tallahassee Democrat. .
