Girls Club<\/a>\u00a0of her hometown in Kentucky.\u00a0 While there, Jessica read to the kids using materials that she borrowed from her mom, who was a reading teacher and always instilled in her the importance of education.<\/p>\n<p>After learning about the District of Columbia\u2019s low high school graduation rate, Jessica decided to look for programs in which she could give a hand to improve the situation.\u00a0 That is how she came across FLOC. \u00a0\u201cThere are too many children in DC who don\u2019t get the educational opportunities or support they deserve; FLOC has a good program for addressing this problem and I\u2019d like to help contribute,\u201d Jessica said.<\/p>\n<p>Since Jessica started volunteering in the Saturday Afternoon Reading Program in early October, she has been helping Christina \u2013 a \u201cvery sweet and fun\u201d girl who \u201cworks hard in the lessons and really likes to draw.\u201d\u00a0 Every Saturday, Jessica tutors Christina for two hours to help improve her reading skills.<\/p>\n<p>When asked to share a memorable experience she has had thus far while tutoring, Jessica said she felt very proud \u201cwhen Christina passed the first test and said that it was easy.\u201d \u00a0For Jessica, having a curriculum to follow has been very helpful as it \u201cgives more structure.\u201d\u00a0 Jessica added that she is \u201creally impressed with FLOC and the help they provide to the kids and I am glad to be a part of it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Another attribute that makes tutoring at FLOC a unique experience for Jessica is seeing how engaged FLOC parents are. \u00a0After the tutoring session is done, Jessica occasionally talks with Christina\u2019s parents about how the lesson went. \u00a0Jessica really values chatting with Christina\u2019s parents as she considers that the parent involvement plays an important role in determining a student\u2019s success.<\/p>\n<p>At FLOC we are very happy to have Jessica with us this school year. \u00a0We thank all of the tutors that, like Jessica, invest their time and dedication to help us make a difference in the lives of our students.<\/p>\n<p><em>(Lisvette Garc\u00eda is the Bilingual Recruitment and Outreach Associate at FLOC).<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For Jessica, being a tutor is nothing new, as she previously volunteered at the\u00a0Boys &#038;
