Northstar Tutoring

Northstar Tutoring Northstar Tutoring provides one-on-one tutoring and mentoring to homeless and low-income children in Washington, DC.

Our mission, partnering with families, educators, and volunteers, is to help children overcome barriers success. Northstar Tutoring serves more than 125 students in the Washington D.C. area by pairing each student with a caring, successful volunteer from the community. Each week these student-volunteer pairs meet at one of our three tutoring locations: Hyattsville, MD, and Columbia Heights and Sha

w in Washington, DC. Sessions range in duration from one hour to one and one half hours. During this time, pairs work together to ensure the student’s homework is completed and to focus on any broader academic concepts the student needs to improve. In addition to serving as tutors, our volunteers act as mentors to our students. Pairs meet each semester to participate in parent approved activities like: a visit to a local museum, a trip to the National Zoo, an outing to a sporting event, or a viewing of a film. These mentoring sessions not only help to strengthen the tutor-student relationship, but they serve as an opportunity to expose our students to new experiences. We always have room for new volunteers, students, and supporters. So like our page, comment, or make a donation.
