Thank you for your interest in becoming a SOH volunteer tutor for the 2022-23 school year. Please look over the following information before filling out your application.
School info
- You will have the opportunity to select which school(s) you would like to tutor at. We will be offering SOH at Wadewitz and our three community schools: Knapp, Julian Thomas and Mitchell. Please check the links below for locations and driving times.
- In addition to traditional SOH tutoring, Mitchell is looking for bilingual English/Spanish speaking volunteers to tutor students in the dual language program. In this program, students from bilingual families and monolingual families come together to learn both English and Spanish, producing bilingual students by the fifth grade. Spanish-dominant students are able to keep their native language while learning English and English-dominant students are able to learn Spanish. The program follows an 80/20 model in which kindergarten students receive 80 percent of their daily instruction in Spanish and 20 percent in English. By fifth grade, children spend half of the day learning in each language. The bilingual staff is dedicated to helping our students not only reach the North Star goals, but to do so as bilingual, bi-literate young adults.
Scheduling
- You will select the days and blocks of times you are available. We will then match your availability with a student that has been chosen to participate.
- Please note that not all schools will have students available at all times listed below. Please select ALL days and times you're available to tutor. You will only be scheduled for the amount of sessions per week that you prefer.
