“I really enjoyed the ability to tutor one student one-on-one. This gave me the time and space to build a relationship with my student, which I believe greatly improved my ability to tutor him and his ability to learn from and enjoy STAIR.”

STAIR tutors play a critical role in their students’ reading journey. STAIR tutors develop a one-on-one relationship with students, which is what makes this volunteer experience so rewarding. The best STAIR tutors are enthusiastic, organized, and engaging. We want STAIR students to be excited about reading!
STAIR students are second and third graders who attend New Orleans area public schools. STAIR’s Tutoring Program is a semester-based program. Virtual Tutors commit to 1.5 hours per week to the STAIR program (60 minute tutoring session, lesson review, and online reporting/parent communication). In-Person Tutors are asked to dedicate 1.5-2 hours per week to the STAIR program (60 minute tutoring session, lesson review, and online reporting/parent communication).
In Fall 2023, STAIR will offer both In-Person and Virtual Tutoring on Mondays through Thursdays between 4:00 and 6:30 p.m. The 11-week Fall 2023 Program will start during the week of September 18. There will be a one week break for Thanksgiving during the week of November 20.
If you are interested in tutoring with STAIR, please fill out an application. Applicants will be required to pass a background check, participate in tutor training, and pass a Tutor Training Quiz.
STAIR will provide all materials and books. Virtual tutors will need to have access to the internet and a desktop computer, laptop, iPad, or tablet with a camera for the virtual sessions.
