Math and Reading Buddies 2010-2011

The Youth Services Department is once again offering tutoring during the school year for elementary students! Math and Reading Buddies individually pairs high school volunteer tutors with elementary students who need to practice math or reading skills.

Pairings are based on student need/volunteer interest and mutual availability. Once paired by the Library, the volunteer and the student's family arrange the meeting schedule, usually once a week, either after school or on the weekends. The Library provides the space and free tutoring resources, such as textbooks, workbooks and games!

The Fall tutoring session begins the week of October 4th, so please get your applications in as soon as you can! You will be notified about your Buddy two weeks prior to the start of the session.
