Tutoring Chicago

At the end of this term, students reflected on a term of hard work, learning, and fun, and celebrated by selecting prizes at our store. Keep up the great work!!

On #uglychristmassweater day, we couldn't resist a #tbt to our Holiday Sweater Contest at this year's Jingle Mingle! With all the great choices, it was tough to choose a winner, but the holiday llama was just irresistible...

It's that time again -- our #tutoringchicago elves are ready for Holiday Gift Distribution today. Each year, we work with corporate partners and individual supporters to sponsor the holiday wish lists over nearly 1,000 students, providing them with one "want," one "need" and one thing to read! We couldn't make so many holiday wishes come true without the incredible support of our partners. Thanks especially to TPG Twin Brook Capital Partners, Hines, Slalom and Sterling Bay for sponsoring more than 70 lists apiece. And thank you to IMC Trading for helping to prepare gifts for distribution in addition to sponsoring lists. In this season of #gratitude, we are so thankful for our wonderful community of supporters!

Please welcome Heather Ostroff, COO at Raise the Bar, to the Tutoring Chicago Board of Directors. From the entire TC community, thank you for your years of tutoring, Heather. We look forward to working with you in this new capacity as we empower Chicago students, together!!

🌠This holiday season, your donation will help connect Tutoring Chicago students like Karol with mentors like Shannon, providing free, consistent and caring academic support. Five years ago, Karol was a bright, curious first-grader struggling to keep up in school. She was falling behind in reading and math and lacked confidence. That’s when she met Shannon, her volunteer tutor through our free tutoring program: https://lnkd.in/g8Fx_5-a Week after week, Shannon helped Karol gain confidence in her skills. Through five years of dedication, Karol has grown into a determined and capable sixth-grader, thriving in school with a bright future ahead. The sky’s the limit on what she can achieve!💪 Yes, they can! Donate at www.tutoringchicago.org to help open opportunities for Chicago students through the power of #education!

We are so excited about tonight's #jinglemingle event!

At the start of high school, Naty was struggling with her classes and losing confidence. Despite her efforts, she felt stuck—until she met Scott, a dedicated tutor with #tutoringchicago. https://lnkd.in/gJPgU7Me Over time and with Scott’s help and encouragement, Naty’s grades improved and she was added to the AP track at her high school, but the real change was in her confidence and her new positive mindset. Yes, they can! This holiday season, your donation can help more students like Naty believe in themselves. Donate at our website and help shape the next generation of success stories.
