• When: Tuesday, March 7, 7:00-8:30 pm
• Where: Central Middle School library, 757 Cedar Street, San Carlos
• What: on Tuesday, 3/7,  Healthy Cities Tutoring will host our annual workshop for tutors and parents about supporting your student in math. Elementary and middle school teachers Krista Carroll and Hillary Wiessinger will lead our discussion about resources, tools and strategies for teaching math. They will answer questions about the common core math curriculum and any other challenges you may face as you guide your student through their math studies. We hope you will take advantage of this opportunity to boost your skills and increase your confidence to support your student with their math work.

IN ADDITION, WE ARE OFFERING A TUTOR INFORMATION SESSION for anyone interested in becoming a volunteer with Healthy Cities Tutoring. This session precedes the math training and is being held from 6:15-7:00 pm, also at Central Middle School.

Thanks to all who came to our Perfect Pairings event yesterday evening! We so enjoyed celebrating the 20th anniversary of Healthy Cities Tutoring with you!

Each February we offer an informal training session to share our successes and concerns working with students. Maybe you want help figuring out how to reach a reluctant learner? Maybe you wonder how to approach a particular subject? Maybe you have some great ideas for others to use to make their sessions more interesting? Whatever your question, we hope you will join us for this year’s “Tutor Tips!”

The workshop will be led by Heather School teacher, Lynn Dames. Lynn has taught 3rd, 5th and 7th graders; she is the perfect person to address questions about working with students across a wide range of grade levels. She will share math games to help your students practice basic facts and strategies to help the reluctant writer and many more aspects of tutoring.

We guarantee you will come away with some new ideas. We hope to see you on February 7th!
