YU+Literacy+Program

YU Literacy Program The YU Literacy Program coordinates the tutoring of more than 40 Yeshiva University students in P.S. 143, a middle school on 183rd and Audubon. Our tutors work one-on-one with students to help them succeed academically. Tutors commit to tutoring as little as 50 minutes per week in a subject of their preference (English, math, science, or social studies). Together with the President's Circle Tutoring Program (see below), the YU Literacy Program has been able to impact the Washington Heights community in a meaningful way. To find out more information about this program, please email Shalom Barishansky at sybsm33@gmail.com.

President's Circle Tutoring Program The President's Circle Tutoring Program works closely with an after-school program run by the Young Adult Borough Centers (YABC) in the GW High School (193rd and Audubon). The after-school program provides classes and advising for students striving to graduate high school and begin college. The students range in age from 17 to 22. Our program provides weekly one-on-one tutoring sessions in biology, chemistry, history, and English to aid in-class work, Regents and the SATs. Furthermore, our tutors have formed lasting relationships with the students of YABC. To find out more information, please email Ari Goldberg at algoldb1@yu.edu.
