Literacy & Math Tutoring

Oasis Tutoring pairs older adult volunteers with students in grades K–3 for literacy support and K–2 for math tutoring. Each volunteer works one-on-one with their assigned students every week, serving not only as a tutor but also as a mentor and a trusted friend. Using Oasis’ educator-developed teaching methods, tutors help children strengthen early literacy skills and build a solid foundation in math.
