Whiz Kidz Tutoring
Whiz Kidz is a tutoring program for needy elementary children in Des Moines’ inner city. Currently, our tutoring session is held on Monday and Wednesday evenings from 5:30 to 7:00pm at the Freedom Center Campus.
Activities include group devotion time and a meal followed by quiet time where each tutor and student can work on reading and homework. Children in Whiz Kidz enjoy the personal attention and love of their tutor and develop a bond, which often translates into increased reading and academic skills. Tutors are encouraged to communicate with each child’s teacher to focus on areas needing attention and discuss progress.
