📚✨ Welcome, Volunteer Tutors! ✨📚

Thank you for signing up to become a tutor at GiGi’s Playhouse Chicago! We are so excited to welcome both our new and returning math and literacy tutors in the next couple of weeks.

Every tutoring session is an opportunity to make learning meaningful, engaging, and fun. Meet Ian and Allison a wonderful example of how tutoring can extend beyond the Playhouse walls!
