Tutoring Program
Riverbend ROCKS provides one-on-one and group tutoring for all subjects and grade levels (including adult ESL tutoring) to members of our community free of charge.
Our group tutoring program is split into:
- One-on-one tutoring (ages 6–19): Individualized sessions tailored to each participant's learning needs, providing personalized support in English, Mathematics, Science, and Social Studies to build confidence, strengthen skills, and achieve academic goals.
- Group tutoring for younger children (ages 6-8): Structured sessions with a focus on building fundamental skills in English and Mathematics
- Group tutoring for older children (ages 9-11): Structured sessions with a focus on developing deeper understandings of core concepts in English, Mathematics, Science, and Social Studies
- Group tutoring for youth (ages 12-19): Less structured, drop-in sessions providing youth with the time and space to complete their own work with assistance from our tutors
