Harvard RITE program

PBHA’s Recent Immigrant Term-time Enrichment (RITE) pairs recently immigrated high school students with college-age tutors for weekly homework help, English as a Second Language (ESL) practice, and standardized test preparation (MCAS, SAT, and TOEFL), as well as guidance and mentorship throughout the college application process. Through one-on-one tutoring, students are prepared to succeed academically and professionally alongside their peers. 

RITE works with young people ages 15 to 21 who are enrolled in Boston area high schools. Participants meet each week on Saturday mornings (10-12) in the Harvard Science Center. If students are unable to meet at these times we will do our best to arrange for a tutor to mentor them at a mutually convenient time. 

You do NOT need US work authorization to apply.
