| EducateNCare Offers Important Tutoring Help and Aid to Haitian Students Posted: 11 Jan 2011 11:00 AM PST EducateNCare.com offers impressive tutoring programs for K-12 through college students, and provides vital aid to Haiti and other underprivileged nations. Fredericksburg, VA (Vocus/PRWEB) January 11, 2011 EducateNCare.com, an innovative new tutoring program for students struggling with math, offers important help for American students, and vital aid for students in Latin America, Asia and Africa. EducateNCare.com is a unique tutoring website that offers students an immense amount of assistance if they are struggling with math. The student is the one in control of these online, home-based tutoring lessons. Once the student decides to seek help in a mathematics subject, they set a time that works for their schedule (24-hours per day, 7 days per week). An experienced tutor logs into the website at the same time as the student, and a session is conducted based on the student's preferred learning style. Students are first given an assessment to determine if they are auditory, visual or kinaesthetic learners, and studies are tailored to fit these needs. The student is able to review the lesson and tutor at the end of the session, giving valuable feedback. In addition, students have free access to worksheets and videos for further study needs, and progress reports are provided. However, perhaps the most innovative feature of the program is that for every student helped in math, a child in Asia, Africa, or Latin America receives help with his or her education. For instance, EducateNCare.com recently built a new science and computer lab for a school in rural India, where these tools had never been available before. In addition, students in Haiti, already suffering from poor education and now compounded by the devastation wrought by the catastrophic earthquake in January, 2010, are receiving considerable aid and educational assistance from EducateNCare.com. Changing the great disparity in educational resources available to students around the globe and ensuring that all students are able to reach their real potential is the mission of EducateNCare.com. Their innovative, unique approach to tutoring, combined with their dedication to ensuring that underprivileged students are provided with the tools and resources required to attain a quality education places this company at the forefront of the industry.

| Michigan church program tutors struggling students Posted: 16 Jan 2011 01:36 AM PST Published: Sunday, January 16, 2011 at 3:30 a.m. JACKSON, Mich. | Traynesha Fells first came to the tutoring program at First Presbyterian Church in October to serve an after-school detention. At the time, the Jackson High School sophomore said her grades were "iffy." She started meeting with tutors and had fun working through the problems. Fells has been coming ever since. "Now I know I can do better," she said. Every Tuesday and Thursday after school, a group of volunteers from the church provide tutoring to students in a building next door at 739 W. Michigan Ave. They call it the Hive. In 2005, the church purchased the building, which formerly housed offices for the South Central Michigan Chapter of the American Red Cross and the United Way. The hope is to have it be home to different organizations to provide more activities for Jackson youth, said John McLaughlin, one of the organizers. "Bees run around doing a lot of things for the common good," McLaughlin said, explaining the Hive's name. Bethany Christian Services, an adoption agency, has offices in the building, and every Thursday a Shop Rats program is held, where students learn how to use power tools and build projects. One drawback, however, is that the two-story building does not have an elevator. The church hopes it can secure funding to make the building accessible to those with disabilities. The tutoring program started in February 2010 as a way to help address the drop-out rate at Jackson High School. Tutors work closely with the school — teachers refer students and provide textbooks and other course materials. While the number of participants varies, a good day can bring anywhere from 15 to 20 students, McLaughlin said. It can be helpful to troubleshoot with someone else, he said. Having the tutoring program outside of school gives students a change of pace. On a recent Thursday afternoon, Fells was reviewing information about dual-enrollment at the Jackson Area Career Center. Her friend De'Markus Miles, 16, was studying 19th-century German history. Dave Polson, a tutor, came into the room and had more information for Miles about a massage-therapy program at Baker College, something Miles wants to pursue after high school. Polson, 50, said it is important to give back to the community — he had mentors while growing up who helped him develop. "They challenged me to be better," Polson said. "Things they said to me my father said to me, but I wouldn't listen."
