Tutees

Welcome everyone!

This section is one of our favorites. Check out all the amazing things our tutees have done over the semesters! These kids are really important to us and to their tutors, so we make sure they have lots of fun while learning about math, reading, writing, art, geography, current events, the environment, culture and much, much more.

Author's Corner

We love to show off the wonderful work our kids have done in strengthening their creative skills. Take a look at some stories and poems in the Author's Corner below!


by Isaiah Addison

One day a mad scientist was working on an experiment that went completely wrong. He was experimenting on a toxic egg that had hatched into a zombie. The zombie escaped and started to attack the people of Baltimore. It was up to a young hero, Isaiah, and his team to fight off the new zombies. They needed to fight for their lives. And after a long and hard fight, they were able to stop the zombie invasion and save the people of Baltimore.


That Spring Feeling
by Dorian Johnson

Spring is fun in so many ways
Spring is fun I want to say hooray!
Green grass, flowers bloom,
Roses are as red as red balloons!
Spring is fun in so many ways,
I hope it doesn’t end today!
In the spring I like to be outside,
There might be an Easter egg surprise!
Candy, sweets, cupcakes galore,
It’s so good it makes me want some more!


by Cedric Tyson

Once upon a time, there lived a chef who made an outrageous pizza. This pizza had green sausages, red lettuce, and blue cheese. He has a light saber and a lot of muscles. He was about to be eaten by the Power Puff Girls, but he jumped out of Bubbles before he was in her mouth. THE END.


The Disappearing Cookie House
by Aniya Chase

Who stole the cookie from the cookie jar? 

The morning after Easter, the Cookie Monster woke up to find out that his bed was in the middle of the forest.  He realized his house made of cookies was missing.  So he called the detectives Aniya, Alyssa, and Katie to solve the case. 

They came to where his house was and took a look around to see if some clues were left where his house had been.  They found some footprints, some pixie dust, a clarinet, a bottle of bubbles and nets, and an egg.  The detectives went to their office to figure out who had left these clues.  Then Aniya, Alyssa, and Katie found out that Peter Pan, the Easter Bunny, the Boy Who Cried Wolf, SpongeBob, Patrick and Squidward were the main suspects.

However, Squidward had played the clarinet for SpongeBob and Patrick who had been blowing bubbles and catching jellyfish with the Cookie Monster.  Peter Pan had been throwing pixie dust to in the air with the Cookie Monster, who wanted to see what it was like to fly.  The Easter Bunny had delivered eggs over the weekend and had left one at the Cookie Monster’s house.  So, the only suspect left was the Boy Who Cried Wolf, who didn’t normally wear shoes.

Since the Cookie Monster found out that the Boy Who Cried Wolf ate his cookie house, the Cookie Monster got back at him by calling the Big Bad Wolf to chase the Boy Who Cried Wolf.  The Cookie Monster laughed, giving it a “ha ha ha.”

If his name was the Boy Who Cried Wolf, it should have been the Boy Who Cried Cookies. 

The End
