In-Home Tutoring Project offered by Communities of Rooted Brilliance
Facilitates a program that recruits, trains, and supports qualified tutors who are matched with refugee youth who need tailored academic support, specifically in mathematics, science, and reading. In-Home Tutors meet with their students in the student's home weekly for two-hour sessions of individualized instruction. Newly arrived refugee youth can receive tutoring services in a convenient and effective way that offers on-going support throughout the academic year. The In-Home Tutoring program's long term goal is to improve the wellbeing and success of K-12 English language learners attending Seattle Public Schools through improved academic achievement, increased participation in academic behaviors, and increased parent involvement in students' education.
