Why do you tutor?
“I tutor because teaching a child to read is one of the best ways to give them a successful start in life and help them become whatever they want to accomplish in life and whatever career path they choose.”
What keeps you at DRC?
“I really enjoy my co-tutors. The families are so supportive and grateful. I love working with students of all ages. I believe that the Barton Program is the best program out there in teaching literary.”
How does tutoring make you feel?
“It makes me feel that I am helping my students to be successful and equipping them for what they’ll need to be successful in the career they choose.”
Can you highlight an experience at DRC that brought you a reward (i.e., graduate, an ‘ah-ha’ moment, a compliment from a student or parent)?
“A parent of a past graduade called me to let me know that their child made the honor roll and that I was instrumental in their child’s success.”
