What's Involved In Tutoring
ONE-ON-ONE TUTORS: work with three scholars, one at a time, to complete homework assignments. The commitment is just FOUR days a month (Monday through Thursday) from 3:45 to 5:45 PM. You have the same three scholars every month, spending 40 minutes with each one, so it's easy to form a special relationship that's rewarding for you and your scholars alike.
GUIDED READING TUTORS: work with three small groups of four or five scholars, spending 40 minutes with each group, for FOUR days a month from 3:45 to 5:45 PM. You can choose EITHER four consecutive days OR two consecutive days on two different weeks. You and your groups read a preselected book together, and you help them explore the vocabulary and ideas in the book. ALL materials and lesson activities are provided by our Guided Reading Specialist. Tutors who focus on reading have enjoyed seeing their scholars bloom!
