The Beginning…  

The R.E.A.D Mentoring Program was created on April 23, 2022 to expand my tutoring business, Tutor Time With Mallory. I became a tutor at Literacy Connections of Wayne County in Goldsboro.  I tutored from January 2012 - July 2018 (6 yrs ). I also tutored at Wayne Community College for the Fall semester in 2015. I became a private tutor on March 20, 2021 (3 yrs)  Tutor Time With Mallory was created to promote my tutoring business and to advance my 6 year tutoring experience and to prepare and educate our children to learn in our society and prepare them for their future.

I commit, to making a difference; to support, guide, and be a role model.

I commit, to being consistent; to be a steady figure over time, to be persistent, and to help others persevere.

I commit, to encouraging others; by listening, by understanding, by fostering strengths, and by showing empathy.

I commit, to building a mutual relationship; to enter the world of someone else, to hear about new dreams and challenges, to share my own stories, and to respect the differences between us.

I commit, to asking for assistance; when I need my own support, when the struggles of a child are bigger than I can handle, when I am unsure.

I commit to recognizing; that change often comes in small steps that barely leave footprints, that victories are often unseen or unspoken, and that obstacles will always be present.

I commit to remaining sympathetic; to the storms weathered, to the adversity faced, and to the experiences that occurred long before this child entered my life.

I commit, to realizing; that my actions carry new weight and responsibility, that my role can never be taken lightly, that my life will also change with this experience. I commit to being a mentor.
