About Caribe Youth Saturday Academy

The Math & Reading Tutoring Program (CYSA)’s vision is to provide the environment, resources, and inspiration for all our students enabling them to improve their skills and understanding of Math and Reading comprehension.

The small tutor to student ratio provides targeted assistance to meet the students’ needs and at the same time ensures high quality curriculum regardless of the students’ economic background.

New Tutors must be able to commit to the 1-2 training/orientation sessions as well for all the scheduled tutoring sessions typically but not exclusive on Saturday’s.

The Tutoring Program runs alongside the school academic year. Three (3) sessions: September to November, January to March, and April to June.

Then Tutors will meet to debrief with the Director to discuss student performance, action plan and program business.
