My name is Harvey Brodsky. I am a retired teacher. Learn To Be has been a tremendous asset in two ways. Firstly it allows students to access help in subject(s) that they wouldn’t otherwise be able to receive. It is such a wonderful event when a student states that he or she realizes that they understand something that alluded them in a crowded classroom. They not only get help in their schoolwork, but also in gaining confidence in their hidden abilities. Secondly, the tutor receives as much as the student. It is so true that the gift giver receives at least as much as the recipient. I feel so thankful that Learn To Be has allowed me to conveniently participate in over 300 hours of tutoring that have made me feel both valuable and joyful.
About half the kids in this country can't read. Our tutors are changing that. You can too. When we teach kids to read, they don't just get to enjoy Harry Potter. They start to do better in math and science as well. They graduate from high school more frequently. They're able to read the application for that job they want. They gain confidence and dignity. They learn about the world about them. And they get to be a part of changing that world for the better.
