Tutors can work one-on-one, with small groups, or in the classroom addressing math and literacy needs. A tutor must work for a minimum of one hour. Teachers may work together to provide opportunities that meet the minimum time requirement, thus providing at least one hour of work for each tutor. Tutors are available before, during and after school, and are approved for unsupervised volunteer status through the school district.
