Each One Teach One (EOTO), Washington University’s signature tutoring initiative that connects tutors with area elementary- and high-school students, is recruiting new educators.
Founded in 2000 and coordinated by the Community Service Office, Each One Teach One supports more than 180 tutors through four programs: EOTO: Jump Start; EOTO: College Bound; EOTO: KIPP; and EOTO: AP Prep.
Tutors select one day a week and a grade level with which they would like to work, and EOTO provides orientation, training and transportation. Tutors are expected to make a weekly commitment to tutoring for a minimum of one semester.
All undergraduate students, graduate and professional students, staff and faculty are eligible to tutor.
Jump Start currently is looking for tutors, while the other programs will begin recruiting new volunteers in April for the 2010-11 year.
