Why Tutors Matter
Volunteer tutors are the backbone of our Tutoring Partnership. We rely on the commitment of quality volunteer tutors to support students in Saint Paul. Half of the 38,000 Saint Paul Public Schools students are not proficient in math and reading. Tutoring is one of the ways that our community can help students reach their potential. Student achievement results show that tutoring works! Our results show that 3rd graders tutored through the Tutoring Partnership made significantly greater gains than those who were not tutored.
