Tutoring at the Borg Center for Reading and Literacy is designed to support learners in Grades 1-8 who experience difficulty with reading, spelling, and/or writing. Our tutors are trained to conduct assessments and design individualized instruction for each tutoring session. We provide direct instruction on literacy skills and strategies with time in each session to apply skills in authentic reading and writing contexts using materials connected to relevant grade level curriculum. Fall 2024 tutoring is now full. The program ends on Thursday, November 14, 2024.

Our spring program will run for ten weeks beginning on Monday, January 27, 2025, and ending on Thursday, April 10, 2025. This time frame includes one week for Spring Break, March 10-14, 2025. Tutors will meet with students once weekly for a total of 10 sessions. If desired, you may also register for two sessions with students meeting with tutors twice weekly for a total of 20 sessions.
