Tutoring is the most effective form of instruction ever devised by human society. Even Alexander the Great had a tutor.

Regarding the profoundly damaging menace of illiteracy facing this country, the National Education Project is working to raise reading and math scores across entire cities by providing reliable and effective tutors on a massive scale to elementary school children who must have this help if they are to master the basic literacy skills required for employment in a technological economy.

Are the tutors from this Project effective? All of our tutors work under the direct supervision of elementary school classroom teachers, who provide written evaluations of the effectiveness of the tutors at the end of each semester.

Here, for example, is what a 2nd grade public school classroom teacher in Chicago had to say after just one semester of tutoring:

"Bill [the tutor] was a very positive force in both Gregory's and Bernard's school year. He motivated the boys with stories, guided activities, and games. The boys felt very special because they had Bill as their tutor.

"Gregory gained 1 year and 8 months in reading. Bernard gained 1 year and 1 month in math."

And we hope you will consider a tax-deductible contribution to help our efforts to provide effective tutors to elementary school children in city after city all across the country.

Many of these children are in quite desperate trouble, and we would be grateful for your help. Thank you.
