Meet our June Tutor of the Month: Harish Chandan! Harish, a board member, and father to member Ankur Chandan started tutoring in 2018 with the desire to give back to a program that has helped his son so much. Harish says, “I highly recommend everyone become a tutor because you learn more than you teach. I also recommend people volunteer for other DSL programs because it is very rewarding to help others…” Thank you, Harish for all that you do!
