New Tutoring Program Offered For Birmingham City Schools Students

BIRMINGHAM, AL — A new tutoring service is now available for Birmingham City Schools students who may be struggling with school work. The United Way launched the program, which involves local college students tutoring K-12 students, according to a WBRC report.

"Much of last year we were virtual because of Covid-19," superintendent Mark Sullivan said in the WBRC report. "Our test scores indicated that there was significant learning loss, particularly in mathematics. So this provides our students with a one to one tutor going in to the classroom to provide that extra support. We think we are going to have a huge bounce academically at the end of this year."

The program will begin in January when students return from winter break .
