Tutors were selected for the program based on major, GPA, and financial need. All tutors selected attended an orientation training and completed a background check necessary to work with minors. Additional training has been held held throughout the year and regular evaluations have been completed as well. Thus far, three elementary schools have been selected to utilize our tutors. The close proximity of these schools enable our students to tutor between classes.
Tutors assist children in grades pre-K through the third grade.
All tutors must attend the quarterly Orientation and Training Sessions, as well as, submit to and clear a criminal background check prior to working with the students. Our tutors assist students in several different settings. In a classroom, while a teacher is administering a lesson to an entire class, tutors give individual attention to students who need it. We also have tutors working at a day care facility. Our Reading Tutors work at day care facilities and after-school programs.
