What people are saying

It’s been an amazing experience. Connecting with students is a big part of what I love about this job, because it’s not only about helping them advance. It’s also about building lasting connections that help them feel more confident in themselves.

Early literacy is key. If we can't read, there's so many things that we can't do. If we can read, all kinds of doors open for us as humans.

Leigh Ann Cardman, Coordinator of Integrated Academic and Behavior Supports, Chatham County Schools

What I think tutors do the most for kids is how they build their confidence. The students that they have been working with, literally holding up books and saying, "Look what I read, Mrs. Buchannon." And it doesn't get any better than that.
