Tutor Spotlight for Carol Vix from Our Redeemer’s Christian School. Her favorite part of tutoring is connecting with kids, especially those she’s worked with in previous years, and watching them grow. She loves seeing how Kindergartners “take off” after going through the program. Carol wants everyone to know: “It works!” A smiling woman with short gray hair, glasses, and a bright pink jacket is pictured on the right.
