In Their Own Words

The Tutor Corps experience has allowed me to realize that success is achievable regardless of the challenges we are faced with, and there are always people to support and guide you. The opportunity to be able to have people guide me through college as well as being able to tutor students and give back to the community influenced and changed my outlook as I feel confident and prepared for the life ahead of me.

My father dreamed of being an accountant, but college was too expensive. Now, I have the opportunity to do what he always wanted to do. I know people have invested in my future because they believe in me, and I will give it my all.

I greet every child and family with warmth and respect, honoring their language, culture, and story. I listen closely, adapt my teaching to their needs, and celebrate their milestones both big and small. I'm not just teaching - I'm investing in a community that has shaped my family and my purpose.

It’s cool. They (the tutors) help me with my homework and then we play learning games. I just like them to be around because that makes me comfortable. I want to thank them every day!
