Library tutoring in an elementary school

Holy Cross College - IN, Indiana

Every week, students at Holy Cross College provide homework instruction to elementary school children in South Bend, Indiana. To build on the children s learning, the tutoring takes place in a library. While helping children with homework problems, college students also help them to satiate their intellectual curiosity in the stacks and shelves of the library, enhancing the tutoring program by introducing children to an environment that can further motivate their desire to learn.
