Our Tutors

Tutors don’t just teach reading. They transform lives. For over 40 years DTP and its students have relied on the passion, patience and perseverance of our dedicated volunteer tutors. They’re the reason behind the books read, tests passed, honor rolls. The graduations, college degrees, jobs and careers. The accomplishment, confidence, pride. We are deeply grateful for their time, energy and commitment to our students’ success!
