The Church of the Covenant’s Saturday Tutoring Program (STP), founded in 1990, is a community-wide tutoring program that provides free academic help for students in grades 1-12 on Saturday mornings during the school year. The main goals of the Saturday Tutoring Program are to create a small-group learning environment where caring tutors help students build their self esteem, and realize the value of education and community involvement.

Service participants select the age-range or subject matter that is of interest to them, and work one-on-one or in small groups with children who need assistance in that area. Materials are provided and sessions are supervised by retired teachers. Tutors clarify information, guide students through practice problems, check for understanding, and provide encouragement. During a brief refreshment break, the students and tutors have time to build rapport. Toward the end of each session, tutors write a brief summary of the day's activities on the students’ progress sheets. Participants in this activity should be "self-starters," able to work independently and to initiate and engage the children who come for tutoring.

NOTE: This service activity runs from September 12th through November 21st. Please check the "Exact Dates" tab for further details. Participants MUST attend the first scheduled day of service which is Saturday, September 12th as training is conducted on that day. Participants who do not attend the training will be removed from this service activity.

NOTE: This activity is currently restricted to specific students in Dr. Ben Forbes class. ONLY these students may register for this activity.
