Writer's Workshop

Being a member of Tutoring Plus has been one of the best parts of living in Boston for me. I’ve really enjoyed getting to work with students and making an impact with them. Getting to know the other volunteers and the T+ staff has also been awesome, especially as someone new to the city. I’m also involved in the Volunteer Advisory Committee!

We want to express our gratitude for the amazing program you did despite the pandemic and the restrictions. We are so grateful that our son got the online support offered during this hard transition. He always talks about how happy and thankful he is for his volunteer!
