Why do we need tutors
Each year students in our afterschool programs take the MAP (Measures of Academic Progress) Assessment to determine their academic performance levels and identify skill deficiencies they may have.

While with their tutor students would be able to work on specific reading and math skills with resources and content catered to their individual levels. This individualized instruction has great potential to help students make significant progress towards their learning goals and close the learning gap helping them have the skills to be more successful and confident. Summer is a great time to advance student learning and prevent summer learning loss.
