Tutor Students in a Bellevue Classroom

Tutors work with students both one-on-one and in classrooms, helping students to reach academic goals.

One-on-One Volunteers - One-on-one volunteers meet weekly with the same student. They typically serve as both tutors and mentors, working with students on academics and helping to deal with difficult issues. Students greatly benefit from one-on-one attention from a caring adult. Opportunities are available in every school. Contact VIBES (Volunteers in Bellevue's Education System) at vibes@bsd405.org or 425.456.4154 to learn more.

Classroom Volunteers - Classroom volunteers are matched with classrooms to provide weekly support for all students. Their role in the classroom depends on the teacher. Volunteers may circulate around the room, helping students that need extra assistance that day, or they may work with small groups of students. Opportunities are available in every school. Contact VIBES (Volunteers in Bellevue's Education System) at vibes@bsd405.org or 425.456.4154 to learn more.

AVID - AVID tutors provide study skills coaching and facilitate small group discussions for students enrolled in AVID (Advancement via Individual Determination) classes. AVID is a student-support program designed to ensure that all students, especially the students in the middle, complete a college preparatory path. AVID teaches study skills and questioning strategies to help these students succeed. Contact VIBES (Volunteers in Bellevue's Education System) at vibes@bsd405.org or 425.456.4154 for more information.
