 Contact us using Gizmo Project  Contact us using skype |  The Tutor Amigos idea is simple: to connect
over the internet volunteer or contracted Spanish-speaking math tutors with English Language Learning (ELL) Latino students in need of academic support. Why? ELL Latinos who need academic support the most, are least likely to be able to obtain it due to low incomes, or a lack of access to computers with a broadband connection. Can this be
overcome? Yes. By partnering with nonprofits, schools and
communities who serve Latino immigrants and provide access to technology. Do you know an organization that has access to computers/broadband and needs Spanish-speaking math tutors? Semi-finalist for the 2008 Echoing Green fellowship Tutor Amigos has been selected as a semi-finalist
for the 2008 Echoing Green fellowship among nearly 1,500 applicants. Read more about us in our blog.
Echoing Green is a provider
of seed funding and support to social entrepreneurs "with bold ideas
for social change in order to launch groundbreaking organizations
around the world." Testmonial "I find that most of our Spanish-speaking kids know most of the math they are being taught, but they simply cannot understand the language. A program like Tutor Amigos gives them that confidence they lack in the classroom because of the language barrier." Raquel Nova, Director of Education, Boys & Girls Club of Lawrence |
