After School Tutoring for the 2020-2021 School Year
Students reading six months or more below grade level work one-to-one with a volunteer tutor for one hour, after school, each week. Through literacy tutoring, students gain confidence and establish a rapport with their tutor. They also build skills in comprehension, fluency, word decoding, and writing. Tutoring sessions offer the opportunity to focus on personalized literacy and learning needs. Tutoring is free to families, thanks to our volunteers who donate their time.
Program Update: Teton Literacy Center's Tutoring Program is at Capacity for the 2020 - 2021 Academic Year 

Unfortunately TLC is unable to accommodate additional students in our tutoring program at this point in the school year.

We are happy to place your child on the waitlist and if a space becomes availalble this spring, we will be in touch. If a space does not become available, we will automatically place your child on our waitlist for tutoring in the Fall of 2021. To place your child on the waitlist, please complete the appropriate application linked in below. We will be in touch if a space becomes available this spring or reach out for updated availability in the fall.

Tutoring helps build confidence, motivation, and skills
“When our daughter was just beginning 2nd grade, she was struggling with reading. She was frustrated and fought every night just to get through a low level book. After a year of working with the staff at Teton Literacy Center, she scored above the second grade goal on the Dibels Test.  Her success can be any child’s success with resources like those available at TLC."   
-The Gambler Family

Tutoring provides the opportunity to build relationships with community leaders. 
“It is very gratifying to see my student’s skills improve… Some kids need the kind of individualized attention that schools simply cannot provide."
