TESTIMONIALS

• "It was exciting for me to watch the progress students and tutors made together during the year. The third and fourth grade teachers were impressed as well, citing students in the program who made significant advances in the classroom across discipline areas and on standardized tests." -Patricia Gill, Teacher Powder House Community School
   

• "Tutors are like computers. Kids like them because they help them do things like reading and writing that they couldn't do on their own." -Tom, age 12 Powder House Community School

• “Unfortunately, lots of elementary students find math to be difficult and boring.  I know that math can be exciting and interesting, so it’s really rewarding to be able to show my students that math can be fun. When I see a child enjoy completing a problem set, it makes me feel like I’ve opened up a whole new door for her. The most rewarding feeling for a tutor is knowing that your child will continue learning long after you’re gone.”    Laura Viola, Math Tutor
   

• "I'm reading a lot more than I was before because Shannon helps me recognize words." -Adam, 3rd Grader
   

• "What is truly special about the TLC program is the many children it can touch. I was delighted to discover that the teachers and parents involved were equally enthusiastic and appreciative of the TLC program." -Kerri Modry, TLC Mentor
   

• "The support services that the TLC tutors provide are extremely important. The tutors check with me often and ask about what the students need to strengthen their skills and improve their classroom performance. This aspect of the program is vital. This year's group of tutors are outstanding! Thank-you!" -Mary McDermott, 3rd Grade Teacher at Brown School
   

• "It is a wonderful program. I hope it will continue in the future. Our tutor, Christina, has been an integral part of support services that are desperately needed in public schools. The children have benefited greatly by Christina's tutorial services."

• -Jean Ferreira, 3rd Grade Teacher at Brown School
