How is Experience Corps different from all the other tutoring programs around?
Most importantly, all of our tutors must be age 55 or older so they bring a wealth of work and life experience, skills and abilities with them. Second, our tutors serve in teams and for a larger number of hours a week than other programs, so we have a greater presence and impact on the school environment. Furthermore, our tutors serve as older-adult role models and mentors for the students in the schools. Also, we provide training before the tutors begin as well as monthly training and weekly supervision throughout the year.
