Originally founded in 1958, under the auspices of the chaplain’s office, the Tutorial Project now functions as part of the university’s Center for Social Concern. Funding is provided by Johns Hopkins University and individual donors and contributors.
The Johns Hopkins Tutorial Project is an after-school tutoring program that provides academic support for elementary school students (grades 1-5). Elementary school tutees receive one-on-one tutoring in reading and math. For nine to ten weeks each semester, around 120 children come to the Homewood campus twice a week for tutoring. Transportation options include the program’s bus or by their families.
At the beginning of each semester, each child’s reading and math levels are tested. Trained tutors plan an hour-and-a-half of activities and educational games, specifically selected to meet each child’s needs based on these assessments.
An on-site computer lab and children’s library are available to help provide individualized instruction for each child. Tutors receive training and support throughout the semester from a full-time professional educator. Additional student staff oversee the progress of each tutor and tutee pair to ensure they receive the support and resources needed to reach academic success.
