The [[../../ADRA/Literacy|Literacy]] honor has details for setting up a formal community tutoring program, but for this requirement, it would be sufficient to simply meet with a younger student on a regular basis and help out as needed. It is important to not do the student's work for him when tutoring, so guard against that. Helping a student to study for a test by using flash cards, or asking questions from a list (with the answers) can be very helpful even if you are not an expert on the subject yourself (though being an expert certainly does not hurt). You can also listen to a beginning reader read a book, and offer gentle corrections as needed. Talk to someone who teaches younger students, and make your desire to tutor known.
