Academic Achievers Program (K-5 Literacy Tutoring)

Program Overview

The Academic Achievers program is designed to ensure children are reading & writing in English at grade level in elementary school. We understand that every child has unique learning needs and sometimes cannot be met in the classroom. The program provides one-on-one English literacy tutoring to children who have been deemed at risk of not meeting grade-level requirements. Participants meet with a trained tutor 1-2 times per week, for one hour each meeting for in-person tutoring session, at one of the designated program locations.

Family Reading Time

Family Reading Time is a FREE joyous celebration of literature, togetherness, and cultural exploration. We gather to share in the magic of storytelling, where captivating narratives transport us to different worlds. Join us for an evening filled with engaging books, delightful literacy activities, and warm community connections. It's a time for families to create lasting memories through the shared love of reading. Come, be a part of our story at Family Reading Time! The first 20 families of each event take home a copy of the book read during the event.

Student and Volunteer Success Stories

"I am immensely grateful for the impact your program has had on my child's life. Since enrolling in your program, my child's journey into the world of reading has been nothing short of remarkable. The systematic and engaging approach you employ has ignited a genuine love for reading within my child. Beyond the technical aspects, I am appreciative of the supportive and nurturing environment you have cultivated. Mr. Matthew's patience, encouragement, and ability to tailor the program to my child's individual needs have been instrumental in her progress. You have not only taught her how to read but also instilled in her a thirst for knowledge and a curiosity that will serve her well throughout her academic journey." - Natalya V, Vera's mom
