You will fall in love each September and have your heart broken when you say goodbye each May. After all, by May you’ve spent time during the school year with Caldwell-Guthrie Elementary children that you now know very well. You find yourself looking forward to time you spend together. You can’t wait to see them break into a smile when they see you. If one is sick you worry. If one is struggling you search for ways to help. Maybe one invites you to a school event—you are so excited—and you meet his grandmother. You find you have something in common: a kid you both love. Considering joining our partnership with Caldwell-Guthrie Elementary School. We’ll teach you how to tutor. You’ll learn to set boundaries, teach reading and math basics, and work with children. It is not necessarily to commit to a weekly tutoring slot. Get trained and join the substitute list. That way when a regular tutor is sick or on vacation his/her students always have a tutor!
