Five Reasons to Become a Tutor in a DC School

The ongoing pandemic has taken a toll on all of us, particularly on students furthest from opportunity. Tutoring has been proven as one of the most effective ways to help students supplement math and literacy skills learned in the classroom.

By volunteering as a tutor, you will bring back the human connection, attention and support D.C. students need to succeed.

Check out five reasons why you should volunteer as a tutor in D.C.:

1. Connect with students — Form bonds that will keep you coming back every week. You’ll quickly see how the students can impact your life as well.
2. Engage with your community — Meet others who are also passionate about making a difference.
3. Use your knowledge — Miss your geometry class? Not really using that English degree? Put your passion and skills to good use.
