Free Summer Tutoring Program

How It Works

Did you know that when students return from summer vacation, teachers can spend up to a month reteaching materials from the previous school year that they’ve forgotten? Get a Summer Study Buddy with Learn To Be to stay on track this summer or even get ahead!

Students & Tutors participating in LTB’s Summer Study Buddies must complete 10+ hours of 1-on-1 tutoring over the summer from June 20 - August 31 to be eligible for a certificate and other rewards! *Group events NOT included.
