\u00a0Free In-Person Tutoring in Reading & Math for Grades 1 \u2013 6 at 45 Locations Across the County<\/em><\/h2>\n

Los Angeles County, CA<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 LA County Library\u2019s\u00a0Summer Stars<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0tutoring program returns June 17, providing free in-person support for students in grades 1 \u2013 6. \u00a0Designed in direct response to community feedback, the program helps young learners strengthen foundational skills in reading and math through small-group sessions led by credentialed tutors.<\/p>\n

The Summer Stars tutoring program was established thanks to a County of Los Angeles Board of Supervisors motion, authored by Supervisor Janice Hahn, which was unanimously approved in October 2023.<\/p>\n

\u201cSummer shouldn\u2019t be a setback for our kids, it should be a springboard,\u201d said Supervisor\u202fJanice\u202fHahn. \u201cBy turning our LA\u202fCounty Library locations into free, high\u2011quality tutoring hubs again this year, we\u2019re giving every child the chance to walk into the new school year confident and prepared, no matter their family\u2019s financial situation.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cEvery child deserves the chance to feel confident in the classroom, and Summer Stars is one way we\u2019re helping to make that possible,\u201d said Skye Patrick, County Librarian at LA County Library. \u201cThis program provides free, in-person academic support in communities that need it most by helping students strengthen key skills, stay engaged over the summer, and feel prepared for the school year ahead.\u201d<\/p>\n

Summer Stars features two 4-week sessions:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Session 1: Reading | June 17 \u2013 July 10, 2025 (June 10 \u2013 July 3 at La Puente Library only)*<\/strong><\/p>\n

Session 2: Math | July 15 \u2013 August 7, 2025 (July 8 \u2013 July 31 at La Puente Library only)<\/strong><\/p>\n

Tutoring is held Tuesday\u202fthrough\u202fThursday afternoons at participating locations, and students attend a 30\u2011minute session each day. Tutoring is provided by StudentNest, an experienced educational partner with more than 20 years of experience delivering academic support to students across the country.<\/p>\n

Appointments are available on a first-come, first-served basis, and space is limited. Parents and caregivers are encouraged to complete an interest form as soon as possible.<\/p>\n
