LGR is a FREE college-access program serving the under-resourced students of Middletown. The program consists of intensive SAT preparation and real college preparation, which includes searching for colleges, writing application essays, and financial planning. 

 As a tutor, you’d be given a class of 5 high school juniors with whom you’d meet once a week throughout the semester and guide along the path to college, providing either math or verbal SAT prep. Training, curriculum, and full support are provided by the program – you just need to bring an interest in tutoring and your enthusiasm!
