For profit tutoring centers such as Sylvan, Huntington, etc. offer fee-for-servicetutoring. Many individuals offer private fee-for-tutoring. It takes tremendous
professional expertise to correctly diagnose a learning problem, develop astrategy to overcome it, then to implement that strategy with support fromteachers, parents and the student. The high costs of these service make themunaffordable for large numbers of students, or as long-term solutions. Yet,
they offer the best hope for improved short-term results.

Developing effective teaching and professional tutoring skills takesyears of learning and experience. Expecting youth volunteers to
accomplish as much with less training and time on task is creatingmisleading expectations. Yet, the volunteer and peer tutor can have aconsiderable impact if they are well supported by professional
educators who are skilled at maximizing the contributions of volunteers.

3-5pm, weekend and evening homework and tutoring centers offer a safe
environment for learning, and are critically important for children withworking parents, or who are exposed to multiple-negative risk factors duringthe non-school hours. Yet, these volunteers usually are not professionally-
trained teachers. Without adequate support their impact on short-term orlong-term learning outcomes will miss expectations.
