The ongoing pandemic has now disrupted three school years for more than 50 million students across the country.

A McKinsey study observed that students averaged four months of unfinished learning in reading and five months of unfinished learning in math as the 2020-21 school year ended.

Tutoring has been proven as one of the most effective ways to help students supplement math and literacy skills learned in the classroom. The need for tutors is massive this school year, with thousands of individuals needed.

CityTutor DC partners offer both virtual and in-person tutoring options, making tutoring a convenient and flexible way to make an impact. You will be paired with an elementary or middle school student and have the opportunity to form bonds that will keep you coming back every week.

By tutoring, you will bring back the human connection, attention, and support needed to help students accelerate academically and socially.

Tutoring is the perfect volunteer opportunity to apply your skills, connect directly with a D.C. student and make a difference. Sign up with CityTutor DC today!

Featured Property of the Week: 1003 Florida Avenue NE

“New 2022 means New Home for You. Enjoy a Spacious New Home and a Fabulous, Urban Lifestyle Life doesn’t get more “D.C.” than it does when you’re living in an incredible, 2,238 sq. ft. Capitol Hill-style townhome situated between two of the Districts most exciting neighborhoods. Built in 1905 and renovated just this year, this 4 BR, 3.5 bath townhome is a short walk from all of the fabulous culture, cuisine, shops and bars of NoMA and the H Street Corridor, including the famous Union Market. If this is too much space, neighbors had $20k bnb income with their basement. Step inside your townhome and enjoy wonderfully comfortable living with spacious rooms, plenty of natural light and dual-zoned HVAC. The back of the house provides great getaway space with a privacy-fenced courtyard and decks on both the first and second floors that look out on your lovely residential neighborhood. The top-to-bottom renovation features all new flooring throughout, gorgeous bathrooms, an incredible kitchen with a gas stove and a separate dining area. The finished basement isn’t your typical TV room, either; it’s a big, brand-new living space that could easily be an income source as a rental for students at nearby Gallaudet University. Being in one of the most walkable areas you’ll find anywhere, you don’t have to have a car at this address, but if you do there is on-street parking for residents. Wherever you need to go in the D.C.
