How can I enroll my child?

We’re glad to learn of your interest in For Love of Children’s Neighborhood Tutoring Program (NTP).

Our program is scheduled around the academic school calendar. New students are brought into programs in September, at the beginning of the school year, or in late January, at the beginning of the spring semester. We accept new student applications year round, but because our program is one-on-one, your child may be placed on a waiting list until a tutor can be assigned.

Our highly structured reading and math programs are offered on various days at different times so that even the most hectic schedule should be able to find a program that works. At FLOC’s Columbia Road location, we offer a Saturday Morning program for elementary age students, and a Tuesday evening program for adolescents. We offer other programs in partnership with local schools and community partners. Programs occur in schools, after school, nights and weekends. For more information about specific programming, please check out our Parent Registration form or contact us at (202)-349-3512.

To ensure that tutors are prepared and that students are taught effectively, we provide excellent comprehensive training for all tutors. Our training and our curriculum have proven to be very effective. Thanks to the hard work of everyone involved, for every 22 hours of tutoring completed, students in the program:

  • increase their math levels by an average of one year and three months;
  • increase their ability to read words fluently by an average of one year and three months, and
  • improve their passage comprehension by an average of one year and two months.

Feel free to view or complete the Parent Registration Package.

To reserve a spot for your student, the following must be submitted to NTP as soon as possible:

  • Parent Registration Package (including background information form)
  • Parent Agreement
  • Medical Authorization
  • Permission for Photographing
  • Permission for Review of Report Cards and Stanford-9 Results
  • Most Recent Report Card
  • Most recent Stanford-9 scores

NTP staff will notify you when we receive your child’s registration package and let you know about your child’s status on the waitlist.
