Project Tutor began in 2006
through a joint effort of the
Boise School District Volunteer Program and Federal
Programs. 
Project Tutor matches community volunteers with 3rd
grade reading or 4th grade math students at different
schools around the District. Tutors commit to approximately
2 hours a week, working with the same students. All
lessons and materials are provided.
Project Tutor Application
Project Tutor Goals and Objectives:
- Reinforce Classroom Instruction through books,
activities, and games
- Encourage Academic Improvement
- Increase Self-esteem
- Students who enjoy reading, read more--and
become better readers.
- When students master basic math facts, they
have confidence to tackle more complex math problems.
History
Since its inception in 2006, Project Tutor has benefited
approximately 250 reading students
and 240 math students. In addition,
more than 100 community volunteers
have donated their time to the program so far. You
can read more about the program here: Project
Tutor Basics.
The 2009-10 school year marks the fourth year of Project
Tutor. Many tutors return year after year to volunteer.
