Paul Robeson America Reads Tutoring Program

Tutoring another student can be a very rewarding experience. When we stop to offer a hand at learning, understanding or knowing, we give young students the confidence they need to live and function in society where ability and efficiency are paramount.

When we are patient, tolerant and helpful, we draw on our collective strength to nurture the self-confidence of the students as well as enhance their attention span, their ability to recall and their overall learning capacity. Through the Paul Robeson America Reads and Counts Tutoring Program, we provide children with the essential educational tools they need to succeed in today's changing environment. We believe that learning can be enjoyable and profitable. So come and share in the excitement! Bilingual tutors are needed and encouraged to apply!
