We'll provide all the tools, training and community you need.
Your second act starts here: transform a child's future while enriching your own.
Check out what Larry has to say.
My name is Larry Gevirtz, and I'm a retired teacher from New York City. I've been involved with Learn To Be for several years now, and have achieved over 450 hours of tutoring with various students during that time. I find that Learn To Be stands out among other tutoring services for several reasons, from the perspective of both the tutor and the tutee.
First of all, tutees get high-quality help without having to pay the exorbitant fees that many tutors today charge. The program makes available many online resources that tutors and students can use to enhance their learning sessions, which is a major plus. From the tutor's standpoint, even though he or she does not get monetary payback, there are other important sources of compensation for the dedicated tutor. For one thing, the tutor is not forced to pair with unknown students who might be totally mismatched with his interests. Rather, the tutor can select whom to work with from a list of students, described in terms of their needs and personalities. This usually results in more harmonious pairings.
Above all is the reward of receiving positive feedback from satisfied parents of students who were helped, and the joy of seeing students light up with new comprehension of the material that had earlier baffled them. I therefore am most grateful to Learn To Be for providing me with the opportunity to help students all over the country via Zoom, and to get the needed support to make the tutoring sessions productive and effective.
