POWAN Tutor

June 2020 Riverside, CA
“POWAN is a great working experience filled with passionate and dedicated volunteers. I have been with POWAN for over two years as a tutor and operations member. The most rewarding part of being a POWAN tutor is being able to see your student learn and grow in a subject they struggled with. I have also joined POWAN operations lead group to assist with POWAN’s future endeavors. ”

“After serving as a POWAN Tutor for almost two years, the role is professionally and personally rewarding. My experience at POWAN has been invaluable in terms of allowing me to develop critical interpersonal skills that have made me a competitive applicant for numerous opportunities on my journey to becoming a physician. My favorite moments as a POWAN Tutor were when my students demonstrated resilience and growth. For example, a second-grader I tutored lacked confidence in reading at the beginning of the school year. By the end of the year, she grew to love reading. Being able to nurture that potential and see the student grow is what makes being a POWAN Tutor so rewarding.”
