By Kate Ruder Excerpt from Kate Ruder's Collective Colorado article  Photo by Eli Imadali "When HollyAnne Giffin began tutoring 12-year-old Gabriel Fernandez last winter, they worked on math homework via Zoom. As they got to know one another, they took adventures beyond their screens." "Last spring, they experimented with elephant toothpaste at a neighborhood park, building on Fernandez’s middle-school science curriculum. They took a bike ride and a hike. When school was out this past summer, Giffin called Fernandez on the phone and asked him to read passages from a book about Louis Armstrong to increase his confidence and fluency."
