A new initiative seeks a few good men and women to lend a helping hand to Tennessee’s kindergarten through 6th-grade students this summer.
The Tennessee Tutoring Corps (TTC) aims to recruit at least 1,000 qualified college students statewide to serve as tutors for rising K-6th grade students whose education has been interrupted due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Interested Northeast State students can learn details and submit an application at www.tntutoringcorps.org. The deadline for applications is 11:59 a.m. on Friday, May 29.
Qualifying tutors should meet he following criteria:
Demonstrate a desire to support the academic growth of elementary-age students;
Be currently enrolled in a post-secondary institution;
Provide an unofficial college transcript; and
Pass a background check.
Preference will be given to college students who:
Have a 3.0 GPA or higher;
Have completed at least their first year of postsecondary education; and
Reside in Tennessee.
The deadline to apply for the Tennessee Tutoring Corps is May 29.
The TTC initiative was created by the Bill and Crissy Haslam Foundation, in partnership with Boys & Girls Clubs of Tennessee and other youth-serving organizations across the state.
Tutoring services are being offered in Carter, Sullivan, and Washington counties in Northeast State’s service area. Qualifying tutors will receive a stipend of up to $1,000 to participate depending on where they work. Tutors are expected to begin their service on June 15th.
Tutors will report to their assigned locations for 7 – 8 weeks. Each tutor will be assigned to a specific Boys & Girls Club or tutoring site. The site administrator will provide specifics on the tutor’s schedule for the summer. Site locations will provide tutors with additional information on the weekly schedule during the on-boarding process in early June. The tutoring sites will also provide proper social distancing and safety steps for all participants.
Prospective tutors do NOT need to major in teacher education degree programs or have teaching experience in order to participate. Qualifying tutors will receive training on grade-specific content. Tutors should expect to assist students in both math and English language arts course content aligned to Tennessee standards. Prior to beginning tutoring, tutors are expected to complete 2-3 online training modules related to summer curriculum.
