The students in the program are Latino, monolingual Spanish, or with little English proficiency. Bilingual tutors are encouraged to apply. Based on the research model developed by the faculty director, this highly successful program offers academic tutoring in reading and writing to pre-k through third grade students. Tutoring sessions may be with an individual child or small groups of two or three children. Tutors may also assist the classroom teacher with small groups of children in need of additional help.
Graduate students provide training and on site tutor supervision.
The program also offers support services, such as, the computer lab, school library, an enrichment program in theater arts, and a mentoring program. The school is located in Piscataway, near the Busch and Livingston Campuses. Transportation for tutors will be provided by van service to and from the Schor School. The van will leave from the Paul Robeson Cultural Center on the Busch Campus, and will operate on a regular schedule during the school day. The Schor School is rich in cultural diversity.
