Tutoring staff. The student tutoring staff is the
backbone of the Project Success program. Each year Project Success
hires approximately 40-50 student tutors. All Project Success tutors
must have strong academics skills. In addition, all language
remediation tutors are required to take a three credit course. Many
of the language remediation tutors are special education teachers in
training. Each Project Success tutor generally works 5-10 hours per
week and most remain with the program two or more years because of
the excellent experience they receive as tutors.
