The Alliance for Education is recruiting up to 100 UTSA students to tutor first, second and third graders in reading and middle school students in math, as part of the America Reads and America Counts programs.
Tutors receive wages that are more than regular work-study wages.
All tutoring sites are all within a couple of blocks of the Downtown Campus. The program is open to all majors. Part of a national initiative to ensure that every American child can read well and independently by the third grade, UTSA's America Reads effort was implemented in 1998. Its sister program, America Counts, began the following year. Initially, the tutoring programs were piloted in a few schools within the San Antonio Independent School District.
