Math and Reading Buddies Tutoring Program

If you have a child who needs help building math and/or reading skills or could use one-on-one homework help, check out Math and Reading Buddies!

Math and Reading Buddies is a free tutoring program at Monroe Twp Library that individually pairs high school volunteers with students in grades 1-6 who need help in math and/or reading. Buddies usually meet at the Library once a week during a ten week session, for 30 to 60 minutes each meeting. Buddies are matched based on mutual need and availability - once paired, buddies schedule their own meetings with each other at the Library.

The next ten week session is from March 21st-June 3rd. Sign up today! Stop by the Youth Services Desk or click here for an application.
