Meet the Tutors

“As rising seniors, we are committed to giving back to our community. We understand how important it is to support younger students because we were in their place not long ago. We believe peer-to-peer tutoring creates a stronger connection, making it easier to learn, ask questions, and grow. Many of us have also seen how cancer can bring uncertainty and hardship to families and friends in our community. We are proud to support the work of the American Cancer Society through our tutoring initiative.”
