Middle School Tutoring Partnership

The Wesleyan University Middle School Tutoring Partnership (WUMSTP) serves middle school students who are failing subjects, at risk of retention, and/or in need of general and academic support. Students are identified by their team of teachers and matched one-on-one with Wesleyan students for in-school tutoring. With a major focus on building relationships across the college-middle school gap, tutors assist students with schoolwork, work to identify major issues affecting students’ motivation, and serve as a general support system for building confidence and changing academic performance. The time commitment is two-hour shifts with two to three tutees, two days per week. You can volunteer, get paid if you have federal work-study, or earn 0.25 academic credit through the JCCP.
