Ruby Willmann, AmeriCorps Team Leader at Bellevue Elementary
As the Team Leader for the Bellevue Tutoring Program, I have been collecting all of our end of the year data. Getting feedback from teachers can be intimidating, but I have really enjoyed reading all of their notes. Comments like “what an effective program” and “the mentors are great role models for our students!” are wonderful to read. We also had one teacher share a success story about one of our tutees. It read:
"Jennifer has made great strides with her tutor. She is so excited when she returns from tutoring and always shares with me what she did and her newest book. Her level of self-confidence has increased immensely since the beginning of the school year, which I attribute in part to her improvement in reading."
When I showed Jennifer’s tutor, Ms. Jenkins, the note she was extraordinarily touched. It is always amazing to see a mentor’s hard work validated in such a clear way.
