Tutor Spotlight

Lisa joined Reading Corps with a heart for helping children grow -both academically and in confidence. With a genuine love for reading and a passion for encouragement, she's become a steady source of support for students at Gussner Elementary School who just need that extra nudge in the right direction.

Her favorite part of tutoring? The relationships built over time. Knowing students look forward to their reading sessions and truly enjoy learning together means everything. And while graduation day is bittersweet, it’s also a proud moment seeing students move on with stronger skills and confidence makes every moment worthwhile.

Lisa wants everyone to know that Reading Corps is one of the most rewarding experiences you can have. The impact goes far beyond the present, setting students up for long-term success, and tutors are never alone. With constant support, encouragement, and all the tools needed to succeed, it’s truly a well-supported and meaningful program.

We’re so grateful for tutors like you who make such a lasting difference!

Tutor spotlight for Casey Humpherys from Deerk Creek elementary, reading corps tutor. Favorite part of tutoring is every laugh, every smile, every little piece of growth I am able to see in each student. i wish everyone knew that we are here because we want to help, we've been trained to help, and we want to see students succeed.
This is a common view throughout the year as SEEC superintendents gather to discuss a variety of education topics and to receive SEEC organizational and programmatic updates. One of our favorite activities at SEEC is connecting with North Dakota administrators!
