What we do

 In-school tutoring:  EVTA is unique among tutoring programs because our tutors work in the  schools during the school day, under the supervision of the teachers, to  support students in any way requested. Therefore, any student is able  to have access to EVTA's tutors on a regular basis. It is because of regular, frequent tutoring throughout the school year that 85% of  EVTA's students improve. 

 School Partners: Dixon Elementary School, Velarde Elementary School, Alcalde Elementary School, Enos Garcia Community School, Penasco Independent Schools, Anansi Charter School

For students of all ages. Tutoring is provided at the local library or at local school sites. Our school partners include Dixon Elementary School, Velarde Elementary School, San Juan Elementary, Arroyos Del Norte Elementary and Anansi Charter School.

Held at Anansi Charter School, the Summer Math Camp will expose students to real-world math. Some projects are: counting money, combining different coins, an interactive money spending experience with Guadalupe Credit Union and setting up mini stores to share with other students. As the summer progresses, students will learn about many more math-related topics.

Because it  is difficult for students with reading disabilities to get individualized instruction in their schools, and because they do not  learn by traditional methods, EVTA has made it a priority to train our  tutors in multisensory and systematic  phonetic instructional techniques. Students with disabilities are empowered to learn because they are presented with concepts they can experience through multiple sensory pathways and mastery of which they can attain at each level.

Embudo Valley Library has created an afterschool program that is a joyful rhythm of mindfulness, homework help, hands-on activities, and outdoor exploration. The mentors and educators reflect the heart of EVTA’s mission: to support students in both their academic journeys and their personal growth. Whether it’s through solving a tricky math problem, storytelling under the apple tree, or simply being present after school, the EVTA Afterschool Program is creating a space where children can feel safe, supported, and inspired to explore who they are.
