TUTORING TRAINING

In -Action

One of our core programs is the Teen Tutoring Program (TTP), a free tutor training program for

community youth.

By teaching effective tutoring techniques coupled with Restorative practice, the AFRE TTP seeks to:

Provide tools for youth to participate in the teaching and healing of community (Ujima)
Empower youth with economic and leadership opportunities with paid tutoring positions within AFRE post training.
Place educational reparations, dismantling institutional racism and social justice into the conversation about teaching and learning.

The tutor trainings will serve youth ages 14-18, and be taught over a 6 week period on Saturdays. Trainings will include instruction in restorative practice, social justice and identifying and proactively combating institutional racism, as well as training in effective tutoring strategies, including best practices in tutoring students of color. Trainees will complete 20 hours of intensive training and be provided with AFRE Certificates of Completion of Restorative Education Tutoring, after which they will be assisted in finding placement for a tutoring job in the community.
