MS54 (or Booker T. Washington) is a public middle school in the Upper West Side. We are located on 108th and Columbus Avenue. Check us out at www.ms54.org

Discipline, time management, persistence in the face of obstacles...study skills are the foundation for success in school and beyond. Homework gives middle school students the chance to develop these skills outside of the classroom, but many of them need some help to get started. When you coach and mentor your team, you provide a bridge between direct instruction and independent self-discipline.  Our teacher coordinators will train and support you as you engage and motivate your group.

People at all ages benefit when their peers become a source of support to help them achieve difficult goals. When you work with a pod, you will not only be coaching them individually--you will be teaching them how to support, advise, and reach out to one another.
