Betsy Hoobler Skill Center

What is The Betsy Hoobler Skill Center?

Tutoring is a wonderful tool, but more times than not the availability of it in a school is tricky at best to find. Sometimes it’s necessary to have certain things taught a different way, or explained in different terms before it’s fully understood; we sympathize with that notion. Every child learns differently and at different paces. We want to make sure that every child that struggles has a way of not just improving their grades but really learning the material. Tutoring is something that should be available to all children and when you donate to FLOC to bring an equal education to all children in the Dayton area.

The Betsy Hoobler Skill Center, named after a retired English professor that totes Ohio’s Professor of the Year award AND the National Professor of the Year award under her belt, is a program that’s been put together to offer academic tutoring to area children who need help with their studies. 

Ms. Hoobler herself tutors here, along with a group of tutors skilled in many different areas of study. The center offers more than 25 computers in addition to these tutors, and whatever academic tools the children need to excel in their studies.

With an emphasis on proactive work and diligent study mixed with the assurance of quality family time back home knowing that all work is done, we do what we can to make sure that the youth of our area are armed as best they can to take on whatever academic challenges are thrown their way.

Why Tutoring is So Important to Local Children?

Many children struggle in school, especially when they have other stresses in their lives. Although we try to do our part to make sure those other stresses are minimized with our other programs not every child has access to tutoring. Tutoring gives children the one on one time they might not be getting at school and that extra time to learn really adds up. When a child is given access to tutoring through the Betsy Hoobler skill center they are allowed to take their time and really learn the material. We hope to make sure that every local child has a chance to succeed.

Your Donation Funds a Dayton Child’s Education

When you donate to For Love of Children you give the gift of education to local children that may be struggling in class.

Many schools don’t have the resources to make sure that every child will get the personalized education they need to succeed. That’s were we come in. With our team of volunteers and your donation we are able to help children see better results in the classroom and make a better future for themselves.
