TUTOR TEAM HIGHLIGHT: HOMEWORK HELP AT EAST LAS VEGAS LIBRARY

The Las Vegas-Clark County Library District has 25 individual branches with 675,000 library cardholders! Andson offers free after school homework help and tutoring at 8 LV-CCLD locations. In August 2019 we began our first year of programming at Las Vegas’s newest library on 2851 E. Bonanza Rd. The East Las Vegas Library is equipped with a plethora of services, amenities, and workshops. There is a cafe, a used bookstore, study rooms, a career center, a tech lab, a toy lending program, an art gallery, and a homework help center, which is where Andson tutors offer free homework help every Monday-Thursday from 4:00-6:00 p.m.

We want you to meet Rhonda, John, and Ruben, our all star tutors heading up our brand new Clark County Library District location at East Las Vegas Library! 

Ruben has been tutoring with Andson for six years and works as a Special Education Instructional Facilitator for the Clark County School District. His favorite part of being a tutoring is helping kids and their families. He likes the new and modern design of the East Las Vegas Library and says the staff is always friendly and accommodating. When he’s not tutoring he likes to bet on sports games! His advice to students is to, “Come to tutoring with homework. Attitude is everything. We love helping you, but you have to want to receive the help.”

Rhonda has also been tutoring with Andson for six years and teaches third grade at Sunrise Acres Elementary School. She’s been a teacher for 16 years! Her favorite part of the new library is the special Homework Help Room that is designated for tutoring. It’s equipped with laptops, whiteboards, and other supplies to help students with their homework. Her advice to students is, “Just try your best. If you at least make an attempt, then we can show you the correct pathway to success.” When she’s not tutoring her and her husband love to hop around different casinos and try out the themed slot machines with cute characters and bonus rounds. 

This is John’s first year with Andson. He is an Education major at UNLV and likes that he gets teaching experience while working as a tutor in the libraries. When he’s not tutoring he loves going out with his friends and trying all of the diverse foods Las Vegas has to offer like Hawaiian, Asain, Mexican, and buffets! His advice to students is to, “Put effort into learning what is happening during tutoring and take that knowledge home.” His favorite thing about the new library is that this location serves an under-served part of the community since many Latinx and Spanish speaking families come to the East Las Vegas Library. He thinks it’s great that they get to help bridge the gap for students with the support of the library staff.

Come down to the East Las Vegas Library and get A+ help from this awesome team of tutors!
