“I tutor because I cannot think of a better contribution to the community I call home,
I tutor because I love the ‘AH HA!’ moments, the happy lighted little faces when they have a break-through minute in a lesson, and are encouraged to keep on working hard,
I tutor because I know the life of each child is enriched by being a literate soul,
I tutor because a smile, hug, or thanks from my child is the greatest ‘payday’ I could imagine,
and it is such a treat to see the self esteem of children grow with their reading ability.”
~ Pat Helm, Tutor, 3 years
