“What I love about it, what I think he loves about it but couldn’t possibly say, is the grandma-like quality; her boundless patience, uncomplicated praise, frequently confused by the technology, happy peppiness. She is awesome”

“I am deeply grateful for our experience with tutoring, it has been incredible. My son was nervous and grumbling about getting started and immediately following his first meeting with Miss Chris declared, “That was way better than I expected!” Miss Chris’ positive demeanor, warmth and encouragement has fostered confidence and a positive frame of mind in my son. I especially appreciate the attunement to mindfulness practices, we’ve incorporated them outside of tutoring and value the attention to building this skill.”

“Finley has had a wonderful experience participating in the tutoring program while being in the second grade at her school. The individualized one on one attention and support has be invaluable in terms of Finley’s confidence as a student in math and spelling. Even more then this, I think Finley has benefited the most from this program because of the personal relationship that has grown between her and Art, the tutor. It’s the conversations and personal connection that happens in between the learning, that means the most to Finley as well as myself, her mom.”

“I enjoy tutoring a 7-year-old because I love to hear what kids this age know and think. In general, I spend very little time with kids, and I think it’s good to be around children and adults of all ages and decades. The little girl I tutor loves pink – as do I!”

“I get like Augie, my dog, when I’m tutoring Lincoln…so excited! It’s almost like a high. Actually, it is a high. I just adore this wonderful little boy.”

“I believe the tutoring my son has received from Sue has boosted his confidence in school. He actually looks forward to each session and he’s interested in learning more. Thanks for helping me and him.”

“There has been academic and social progress! The kids are so excited to teach others and the steps to solve addition problems. They do it with such confidence! The 1:1 attention has strengthened their self-esteem and I thank you so much for that.”

“I use a systems thinking approach to teach the importance of contribution, empathy, and the small acts we can do at any age to keep our community system strong and healthy for everyone.  The first thing we learn is to take care of each other, and the Mindful Community Tutors program can show children how we are all interdependent. It is important for children and seniors to know their voices are heard and valued after a year of uncertainty. The lack of human to human interaction has been damaging to so many; we need to connect again.”

“Children have returned to school after a year of remote learning with anxiety and academic needs. Mindful Community Tutors provides students with the opportunity to meet grade level expectations through mindfulness exercises and reinforcement of academic skills. It is the partnership teachers need to take care of the whole child (mind and soul). I ask myself every year if I have done my best to meet the needs of every child in my class, but this year with the help of Mindful Community Tutors, I know I will.”
