School Year Tutoring

H.O.P.E. Tutoring Center strives to place students in a one-on-one or one-on-two tutoring situation. The students’ homework is considered first priority in tutoring. When the homework is completed, the tutor and student work on an academic area suggested by the parent or teacher.

To enroll a student for services, a parental guardian must bring a copy of the most recent report card and a copy of the family financial information which can be a copy of the free/reduced lunch letter from the school district or a copy of the most recent paycheck stub.

Resources: Each tutoring site contains: two computers with PLATO Educational Software, a library of grade level reading books, magazines, dictionaries, encyclopedias, reading and math games and TV/VCR resources. All resources are available to the student. Refreshments are served daily.

Incentives: The H.O.P.E. Bucks program and a Spelling Bee encourage achievement. Tutoring and mentoring provide opportunities for the student to grow in self-esteem.

H.O.P.E. students set a goal to improve their academic grades and maintain satisfactory conduct and/or show conduct improvement on their report cards. Achievement of these goals is measured by the student’s six weeks report card.

Reading Rocks Summer Program

Volunteers provide students with one-on-one mentoring in reading during the summer months. This program helps students maintain what they have learned from school year to school year.

H.O.P.E.’s goal is that 75% of participating students will at least maintain or improve the reading grade-level with which they entered the program.
