TUTORS NEEDED

Our tutors are making a difference in the lives of these children. In the words of the Principal of the school, “We know that the support of the wonderful tutors from TempleJudea has contributed toward the amazing achievement (being recognized as a “A” school) of our students.” We’re planning to start tutoring in October.
