  • Tutoring And Education Services

    TUTORING AND EDUCATION SERVICES - the Academic coordinator/assistant, is a former teacher, who oversees the after-school program. She diligently works to give structure to the program while creating a routine for the children. She assigns students to tutors, oversees the work the students do, monitors the progress and areas that need more attention, research for didactic material for the children and creates activities for them. The disruption caused by the covid-19 shutdown affected the childrens academic development and set them further behind. We incorporated a pilot program with educational software to create individualized learning materials and identify areas of strength and weakness to have tutors work on those specific areas with each child. The structure put in place by our tutoring coordinator has helped the children reduce the gap created during the pandemic and has allowed the children to thrive.

  • The Parent Program

    THE PARENT PROGRAM - we continue to provide parental support at El Puente. We hold regular monthly meetings where the Academic Coordinator and the Parent Advocate discuss how their children are performing and provide guidance on creating study habits, reading at home, how to talk with your child, etc. In addition, the Academic Coordinator meets monthly with parents by grade level to go over study plans and the creation of routines at home for the children. These conferences have proven very helpful for the families in our program. They have taught the parents how to talk with their children and how to best support their children and their schoolwork. In addition, we continue partnering with Wright State Universitys Education Department to hold an upper-level college class each fall semester to provide one on one tutoring to a small group of our students.
