“There is no better way to serve another human being than to support the learning development of a young child! We envision the tutor as a mentor who makes a personal commitment to a student’s success and offers support and encouragement for learning. Tutors have something valuable to offer students. The personal support of one-on-one interaction and encouragement will create a sparkle in the students’ eyes as they experience success. Tutors will also experience the excitement of sharing the gift of learning!”

The programs are a result of the government grant received at Emporia State University and a cooperative effort between the Teachers College, the Office of Professional Education Services, the Jones Institute for Educational Excellence, the cooperating host schools, and the Office of Student Financial Aid. All areas have significant input in the design and direction of the program. All tutors are under the Federal Work Study Program and administered by the Office of Professional Education Services in the Teachers College. Tutoring hours may be used for the required 100 hours for admission to Phase I/Block 2. A few tutors, who are eligible, participate but are not paid for their services. Emporia elementary public and private schools (K-4 and 5-6) are served.
Most materials used by the tutors are created or selected
specifically for this program utilizing the expertise
of professional educators on campus and in the schools
to devise high quality materials to benefit the tutor
and the students. The goal is to provide our college
students experience as tutors working with young people
in a school setting and give quality instruction and
mentoring to the classroom students.
During the school year, participants give our program feedback on the performance of our services. Responses on individual tutor evaluation forms are compiled for summary reports and help guide and revise our program.
