I am currently finishing up my first year as a Reading Corp. member tutoring K-2 students during the 2017-2018 school year. Unlike what the last reviewer said, they do not only accept students as tutors. I am in my late 30's and this is what is going to help me get my foot in the door with my local school system. Your living stipend is not a lot however remember you will also be gaining the experience of being the the schools and an education award.
You really want to make sure that you are not just taking this position on because you think it will be a piece of cake. It is a lot of really hard work but it is also the best kind of work. It will challenge you but you will have many rewards. You will see tears and you will see smiles. It is really a satisfying feeling to know that you are helping a young person succeed. Who knows, you may be helping a future leader of the country, a world renowned surgeon or helping to inspire a child to become a teacher.
This is a great program! The Internal Coach, Master Coach and Program Manager at my particular school are absolutely amazing. I would not trade this experience for the world...I am even coming back next year for the 2018-2019 school year.
