Evening Program

Supporting elementary and middle school students to be academically successful.

For students needing additional support and attention, we offer 1:1 support in the evening. Students are paired with a volunteer tutor for twice weekly sessions throughout the school year. We work closely with the school-day teachers to understand skill gaps and provide additional support in academic assignments. Students focus on reading, writing and math. In this program we are supporting academic growth, while at the same time honoring the power of personal connection to create meaningful relationships and boost confidence. The program is held at the Dr. Martin Luther King Academy Middle School Campus, Monday through Thursday evenings and includes dinner.

You get to meet with tutors and you don’t just read! You can do other learning stuff, too. I also like how the tutors and teachers are very nice. I feel excited and happy when I come to Bridge the Gap.
