Tutor students in Florida.
Helping Florida’s youngest learners make a strong start in school.
In Florida, fewer than half of all fourth-grade students are proficient in reading and math. Helping children build early reading and math skills ignites a love of learning and sets them up for success. Together, we can help more preschool kids make a strong start.
Early Learning Corps trains everyday people to make an incredible impact as tutors. By placing tutors in local preschool classrooms, our youngest learners get extra academic support and encouragement. Tutors spend their days talking, singing, playing, reading, and writing with children to help them build skills and confidence.
Since launching in 2015, our tutors in Florida have already helped more than 11,900 local students get on track to succeed! You can be part of creating more success stories in Florida. Learn more about our opportunities to get involved.

EARLY LEARNING TUTOR STORIES
Pamela Niesen
“The young students enjoy school in such a different light than older students. The lessons I teach are games and fun activities rather than work.”
Gio Chery
“I am most excited about giving kids new learning methods so as they get older, they won’t forget any of the methods we used.”
Stephanie Veranea-Collado
“I realized I was making a difference when the children sang out transition songs and learned how to rhyme and count syllables!”
