Puget Sound students and an AmeriCorps member work with Tacoma Public Middle and Secondary students to tackle tough subjects and help with homework and teaching effective study habits that will serve students throughout their academic careers. Tutors are trained in cultural competency, confidentiality and issues related to working with minors, enabling them to build rapport with their students and allowing students to interact comfortably with their tutors in a college setting.
