Math Tutor for Jr. High or HS Students
ORGANIZATION: Glenwood Academy
Please visit the new page to apply.
We have several junior high and high school students who have need of tutoring in math; algebra, geometry, and physics (occasionally). This opportunity can be an hour (or more) starting at 3:15 any weekday, or the evening starting at about 6:00. A brief description of the function of the selected volunteers would be:
- to mentor the student and guide them as he/she completes homework assignments.
- to build upon and reinforce the lesson that they just experienced during the school day.
- to conduct reviews of past lessons to assure the student has learned and internalized what has been learned.

Mission Statement
Mission: Glenwood Academy nurtures and educates at-risk children by inspiring excellence, building character, and strengthening community.
Description
The goal of Glenwood Academy is to eradicate poverty, injustice and inequality through the power of residential education.
With a reputation of excellence for over 130 years, Glenwood Academy (formerly Glenwood School for Boys) is greater Chicago’s only boarding school that offers a safer, nurturing environment for disadvantaged children. Willing and able to learn but constrained by difficult social and economic situations, each year approximately 150 of these children come to Glenwood to live and learn - both in and out of the classroom. Stress factors in these children's lives include students who come from distressed and dangerous neighborhoods, single-parent and low-income families, underperforming schools, and other varying factors that impede growth and development. Here, young minds are challenged, character is built, family relationships are strengthened, and potential is attained. More than just a school, Glenwood is a bright new world of promise for disadvantaged children with the ability and desire to succeed.
