JustREAD/JustMATH provides one-on-one tutoring in literacy and math to below grade level elementary, middle, and high school students in Mountain View, CA. We serve students who are struggling to master elementary and middle school math. Our students thrive on the personalized attention to their academic needs, a structured tutoring environment, and the dedication of caring volunteer tutors.
For the 2019-2020 school year we are focused on growing the number of students we serve, especially in our 4th & 5th grade remedial math programs at Theuerkauf and Monta Loma, so are actively looking for additional caring adult volunteers to provide one-on-one tutoring and/or in-classroom tutoring on campus DURING THE SCHOOL DAY and AFTER SCHOOL.
Tutors receive training and on-going support from a Site Coordinator or teacher in the classroom. Students have individualized lesson plans and instructional materials tailored to their needs. We request a minimum commitment of one hour per week between 8 a.m. and 5:00 p.m.
New tutor orientations are held on an ongoing basis and no prior tutoring experience is necessary. Sign up for a New Tutor Orientation here: http://www.justreadcenters.org/JRNew/volunteer/

Mission Statement
JustREAD’s mission is to help underperforming students develop the literacy and math skills needed to support lifelong learning. Our trained volunteers provide one-on-one, structured tutoring to students who do not receive academic support at home. Since 2005, hundreds of volunteers have provided over 32,000 tutoring sessions to students in Mountain View, CA.
Description
JustREAD and JustMATH are focused on the development of basic English and math skills. Our caring volunteer tutors impart academic and life skills to their students, providing a safe and nurturing environment for learning. The high school dropout rate in California is 20%. Poverty, linguistic diversity, inadequate school funding and community instability all create barriers to academic success. JustREAD's programs address this educational crisis one student at a time. The students have gaps in their learning. We provide diagnostic testing to identify the gaps, then create customized focus plans for each student. Tutors work one-on-one or in small groups in dedicated classrooms on campus during the school day. Programs run for the academic year. Site coordinators provide ongoing support for tutors and students, and provide the curriculum and structure for the sessions. No prior experience is needed. Many of tutors return year after year because they see first-hand the impact they have on individual students:
JustMATH Student: Tutoring is the #1 thing I look forward to at school. I am so very comfortable there.
JustREAD Student: I love JustREAD! I never wanted to come late to this class.
JustREAD/MATH Tutors: I really appreciate the structure provided and the great site coordinators.
Teacher: This is a great program, and I am very grateful for it! The program was even better and more helpful than I expected!
