I've honestly been avoiding writing this because I haven't been exactly sure how to put into words how much I've loved every minute I've spent with Learn To Be. I am relatively new to the Learn To Be team, I joined a little over a month ago, but I have already had such an amazing experience. I am currently tutoring one student and I am so proud of him. We’ve really bonded and I’m already starting to see improvement as well as a new excitement for learning and I’ve seen him start to take initiative which has been so rewarding for me to watch. It has been amazing to watch him go from shy and somewhat unmotivated to fun and even taking initiative in his learning at such a young age. I have learned so much about both teaching and learning, patience and fun. I tell anyone who will listen about Learn To Be. I’ve really developed a passion for these kids, and it makes me so sad to see how many kids aren’t matched with a tutor. I wish I could tutor every one of them because I firmly believe that each and every child needs and deserves a quality education regardless of any circumstances. They are our future! If you are considering joining the Learn To Be team, I can only tell you amazing things. Everyone is so helpful and kind and it has been wonderful to not only connect with my student, but with other tutors as well! Thank you Learn To Be for being so much more than I expected, so much more than some service hours for NHS, and giving me a place to get outside of myself and do something meaningful. Though the impact may be small in the grand scheme, I am filled with joy and pride for my one student, and I am so happy to get to be a part of his education journey and I hope to be a part of many others'. Thank you Learn To Be!

4 out of 10 students can't read this sentence.

But you can help. Closing this achievement gap begins with your support. 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.
