During the school day, Pitt School of Education students serve as tutors in select classrooms at Pittsburgh Public Schools (PPS) elementary schools.
All tutoring happens under the direction of the classroom teacher and align to the reading and math curriculum used by the PPS District. The school principals select the classrooms that receive tutoring assistance.
Currently, GNEP offers tutoring in a variety of schools, including: Faison, Lincoln, Weil, Miller, Greenfield, Minadeo, and Mifflin.
About our Tutors
All of our tutors are part of the Gismondi Education Corps, which connects Pitt students with Pittsburgh neighborhoods, through tutoring, mentorship, and hands-on community engagement.
Corps members are paid Pitt student workers that are mentored in cutting-edge reading and math techniques, play-based interventions, lesson planning, and more from GNEP instructional coaches and staff. All tutors have the necessary child abuse history and criminal background check clearances.
