The editorial highlighted pressing academic challenges faced by Seattle鈥檚 students, especially those farthest from educational justice. The next step is clear: effective tutoring, currently available through existing organizations at no cost to families, can have a transformative impact.

Research emphasizes the efficacy of high-dosage, one-on-one tutoring in addressing learning gaps. Notably, Reading Partners Seattle, of which I am executive director, has a decadelong record of impressive literacy results, and The Math Agency, as previously featured in The Times, provides another valuable resource. The editorial rightly points out that Seattle鈥檚 volunteer pool is a formidable asset, ready to support tutoring organizations across the region.

One-on-one tutoring significantly enhances students鈥� academic skills by providing personalized attention. Seattle can capitalize on its wealth of community expertise to support students striving to perform at grade level, students who deserve this support now.

While the pandemic coalesced the belief that 鈥渨e鈥檙e all in this together,鈥� its effects persist for students, families, schools and educators. Community support is needed now more than ever, and I urge local districts to expand partnerships with proven organizations and encourage community members to volunteer their time for our students. The need is now and organizations are ready.
