Supporting Students through School & District Partnerships
Tutor Corps is proud to partner with several schools and districts, a unique opportunity which allows us to bring the gift of 1:1 tutoring to a wider population of students. When we partner with schools and districts, the schools cover the cost of the tutoring. This means that students (most of whom might not be in a financial situation to pay for the services themselves) get access to quality mentorship and support at no cost to themselves. This is an amazing opportunity to help bridge the gap in access to education. Approximately 50% of our annual tutoring hours derive from school partnerships — and we’re so grateful to have you be a part of it!

“I am so grateful to our tutor for everything she has done to help my daughter get back on track with her education while she is unable to attend school due to a chronic condition. She has been positive, supportive and patient with my daughter which has allowed her to regain her confidence and enjoy learning again.”
