StudentsOur students consist of adults from the Chinatown and Greater Boston immigrant communities who come to class every weekend enthusiastic and ready to learn. As a weekend program, we are uniquely situated to serve the working Chinese immigrant population. After passing the naturalization exam, students often return to celebrate with the tutors and thank them with food!

TutorsChinatown Citizenship is completely staffed by student volunteers, mostly Harvard undergraduates but also graduate students and undergraduates from other institutions. Most volunteers are bilingual in Chinese and English, but some of our most dedicated tutors are non-Asian or speak little or no Chinese. New tutors are always paired with more experienced tutors. Although none are professionally-trained teachers, the effectiveness of our student volunteers is a testament to their enthusiasm and dedication.
