I have had the great opportunity to meet some very nice, wonderful kids, as well as, some amazing tutors and hardworking NHR people. Some of the kids I have worked with have ranged from 3rd grade to 7th. We do various reading/literacy activities via workbooks, computer games, and of course in the books they choose to read. Some times they bring school work and they always bring great stories about their day or what they did over the weekend. There are always apples or tangerines, and string cheese available as healthy snacks for the kids. There is also an amazing amount of books there FOR FREE!! I get so nostalgic when I walk in there because I see all of my favorites from childhood lining the shelves: Nancy Drew, The Phantom Tollbooth, My Side of the Mountain, A Wrinkle in Time. The staff makes it so easy to jump in and tutor. They are very understanding, supportive, welcoming, and just phenomenal with all of the kids. They know them all so well. I find that overwhelmingly impressive because there are so many of them! Volunteer, donate, visit, or peruse here. It is a wonderful program and place here in New Haven.

Working with Mrs. Card had given me a huge turn around in my academic experience. If there's anyone…read moreto help a student prepare for two SAT's and two ACT's, she's the one. It's all thanks to Mrs. Card and her advice for how I was able to bump up my second SAT score by 70 points. She has a very unique way of how she approaches students. No matter how well or poor my results on a test, quiz or any assignment were, she never once increased the pressure nor did she ever raise the intensity on me. She was always consistent. I stopped working with her after my second SAT, right before senior year began. However, I reflect back on how being tutored and given important advice by Mrs. Card was a major reason for how I became an all A student my senior year of high school. Mrs. Card is the one!
