Got an Hour? Be a tutor!

Volunteer tutors are needed for the East End Cooperative Ministry's
Extraordinary Tutors program.  This program links adults and older
students from the community with students K-12 who need some extra
attention and help with school work but can't afford private tutoring.
Each year the program matches about 200 students with tutors, many of
them from CMU and Pitt!
 
Tutors meet one-on-one with the same student each week. This hour can
be set for any day Monday through Thursday, between 4:30 and 7:30pm.
The meeting locations are East Liberty Presbyterian Church (the huge
Gothic church inside of Penn Circle), or Church of the Redeemer
(Forbes Avenue, Squirrel Hill). You are matched with a student based
on subject material, your preference for age group, and your time
availability.  Anyone (your spouse, your kids, your neighbor, your
officemate...) is welcome to participate.  Tutors are needed for all
subjects and all ages.  But there is an immediate need for:
