One-to-One Tutoring...Goal Met!

HCC's Academic Enrichment tutoring program wrapped up another school year this spring, and by most measures, it was a strong one. By the second semester, students had settled into familiar routines and the energy in the room showed it. They came to their tables ready, connected with their tutors, and left with more than completed homework. For many students, the sessions built something lasting: a consistent relationship with a tutor who showed up for them week after week.

The program's core goal of one-to-one tutoring was largely fulfilled this year. Students thrived in the structure, and tutors found their footing alongside them. Meals from Salud Comfort Foods, a locally owned catering company in North Lawndale, rounded out each session, with the team making room for student preferences when possible and reinforcing healthy eating habits along the way.
