Why Tutor?

  • Learn

    Tutors learn just as much as those being tutored. Being a tutor helps develop communication skills, time management, patience, empathy and leadership. Dyad Learning helps tutors grow the skills they will need for college, graduate school, and the workforce.

  • Earn

    Students shouldn’t have to choose between helping the community and earning money for college. Dyad Learning grants its tutors a 'merit' scholarship, paying $25 per hour tutored during high school or college. These scholarships ensure tutors can dedicate their time to helping others without worrying about losing funds needed for further education.

  • Community

    Good members of a community recognize when others need help and finds ways to help them. By becoming a tutor, you are giving your time to a program that is constantly improving access to education for students from a variety of backgrounds.
