Recent headlines have quantified the toll the pandemic had on D.C. students, particularly on students furthest from opportunity.

Tutoring has been proven as one of the most effective ways to help students supplement math and literacy skills learned in the classroom. By volunteering as a tutor, you will bring back the human connection, attention and support D.C. students need to succeed.

Check out five reasons why you should volunteer as a tutor in D.C.

  1. Connect with students: Form bonds that will keep you coming back every week. You’ll quickly see how the students can impact your life as well.
  2. Engage with your community: Meet others who are also passionate about making a difference.
  3. Use your knowledge: Miss your geometry class? Not really using that English degree? Put your passion and skills to good use.
  4. Tutoring is convenient and flexible: CityTutor DC partners offer both virtual and in-person tutoring options to impact the next generation of leaders in D.C.
  5. Gain new skills: Receive training on how to tutor students with a special emphasis on catering to each individual student’s needs.

Organizations throughout D.C. are recruiting hundreds of tutors — sign up with CityTutor DC to be matched with one!
