Summer Intensive In-Home tutoring intern: RefugeeOne seeks interns for the summer intensive in-home tutoring program. Tutors work one-on-one with a child who has recently arrived in the United States. In a mutually beneficial exchange of culture and knowledge, tutors will help youth ages 6-17 practice English and adjust to the U.S. school system. Clients are largely located in Rogers Park, West Rogers Park, and Albany Park.

Interns will be paired with two families for intensive tutoring to take place at the family’s home. In collaboration with the RefugeeOne youth program staff, interns create a tutoring plan for the summer based on the child(ren)’s academic needs. Tutoring materials and supplies are provided by RefugeeOne. Interns can expect to focus on English vocabulary, reading, and basic math skills during their tutoring sessions.
