The College of Education at Texas State University has expanded its community tutoring program for the 2023 spring semester to serve more students of all ages from local schools– kindergarteners to high school seniors.
The Community Academic Tutoring Program (CATS) is comprised of nine Texas State students who will serve as tutors and mentors to students in the San Marcos Consolidated Independent School District (SMCISD). Crockett Elementary, Mendez Elementary, Goodnight Middle School and San Marcos High School are participating in the program. The schools match eligible students to TXST tutors ready to serve them.
Although the CATS program has been around for a few years, this semester is the first time an official cohort has been initiated. The tutoring team has grown to become four times larger than it was in its inception. Senior criminal justice major Lilia Pina was one of the original tutors.
