Who qualifies as a tutor after school?
If you are a matriculating student at a higher learning institution in the New York City Metropolitan Area, AND you receive Federal Work Study, you are eligible to apply for a position as a tutor.
How much time must I commit to the program?
You must be willing to commit to select days, from 3:00pm to 7:00pm. We would like your commitment for the entire school year.
Do I receive training?
Yes, you will receive training and attend an orientation offered by program administrators. We provide exemplary principles and practices for tutoring children.
Who are the students?
The girls who range in ages 7-10 years and for the most part, they come from single parent families or extended families. They are bright girls who need encouragement, patience, and willingness from others to focus on what’s “super” and positive about them and their efforts.
