Tutor students in Minnesota.

“My students make me smile, I love the hugs, I love to hear them laugh and have fun with learning, and they finally recognize how intelligent, hard-working, and caring they are; they’re surprising themselves, not me.”

“The best aspect of serving as a tutor was the sense of joy that comes with this job. You may be having a terrible day, but the second that you step through the door and see 20 children smile and greet you each morning is irreplaceable. It’s the best feeling in the world.”

“My role is about more than increasing math scores. It is allowing my students to see their potential as great thinkers and problem solvers. When I hear my students say, ‘Wow! That was easy,’ or ‘Oh, I know this!’ it is music to my ears.”

Jennifer, Math Tutor  |  St. Joseph, MN

“I knew I wanted to pursue a career in education, but wasn’t exactly sure in what subject or age group. I applied to AmeriCorps because I wanted to take a gap year before going to graduate school and needed a job. I didn’t expect Reading Corps to be as life changing as it has been so far. I now plan to pursue a Masters in Early Childhood Education.”
