After-school Tutoring

We offer free after-school tutoring to help students with their homework, creative writing, expository writing, or English as a second language. Our trained tutors are on-call to give students the time and attention they need to nurture their unique style and accomplish their learning goals. Each afternoon, we begin by tackling the day’s homework assignments and if there’s extra time, we wrap up with reading time and writing prompts. Parents and teachers help us target each student’s particular learning needs. The students in this program also produce a biannual collection of writing called Look Closer/Mira de Cerca. During the week, from Monday through Thursday, we offer this program to a group of enrolled students.

On Sundays, we do things differently and offer drop-in tutoring. There’s no enrollment required; anyone 6-18 who wants some extra help is invited to stop by. Students bring in the plays, poems, and novels they’re working on; and when they’re between projects, we offer writing prompts. If you love to write, or if you just need a little extra homework help, Sunday drop-in is for you. We hope you’ll stop by.
