Our tutors are peer-tutor and are mostly high-performing high school or college students, and many studies show that peer or near-peer tutoring is extra effective, allowing struggling students to feel connected and open to learning.
Many families can’t afford or lack access to private tutoring, which is usually $20-$100 per hour. With academic support, these students can expand their opportunities and dream bigger dreams.
We don’t think a family’s income level should impact their child’s access to learning.
Our tutoring is 100% virtual, so geography, or lack of transportation is not a barrier providing more access to both our students and our tutors.
You set your own schedule. Tutor as many hours a week though we do ask you tutor a minimum of 1 hour per week.

We believe that consistent, positive relationships have the power to change lives! That’s why our tutors get to work 1-on-1 with the same student each week.
