About
Citizenship Tutoring (Cit Tut) at the Harvard University Institute of Politics is a public service program building a greater civic engagement throughout the Harvard community. Cit Tut is the largest undergraduate program at the IOP. Every week our tutors meet with employees from various departments within the Harvard community, and recently Greater Boston through the Open Door Immigration Services, to guide them through the citizenship application and study for the four components of the U.S. citizenship test: civics, speaking, reading, and writing.
