Good Morning Tutors!

As we prepare this week’s newsletter, we are struck by the beautiful, sunny, blue-sky morning and can’t help but feel optimistic and upbeat. Your continued efforts to support our students and their families who are grappling with new and often frightening realities are inspiring, motivating, and appreciated.  We are grateful for all you have provided. Do not hesitate to reach out if you have questions or need help with tutoring strategies during this time. Be well and take care. 

With gratitude and hope,
