The tutoring team is on site three days a week during the school day. Close supervision of the graduate students through seminars at the university. Staff development sessions serve as an opportunity for ongoing support, feedback and training. Tutors learn the complexities of urban public schooling. They develop a strong camaraderie with their fellow graduate students.
Tutors receive tuition scholarships and an hourly wage.
Students' attendance rate increases when they have additional personal relationships in the school. Students love the individual attention that tutoring provides. Sometimes students are reluctant to ask questions in class. The tutoring period provides an ideal time to catch-up, and to clarify unanswered questions. We formally evaluate our program by tracking student attendance, grade promotion, and graduation.
