Calling standardized test tutors - help a low income student achieve their college goals!

Save to Favorites

Are you good at math or writing/critical thinking passionate about helping a new generation of high school students achieve their college dreams and fulfill their goals? If so, become a tutor with Minds Matter LA - you'll work directly with a small group of students to improve their SAT scores in either subject and maximize their potential!

Minds Matter is an organization dedicated to preparing motivated and bright students from low-income families to succeed in college. We work with students beginning in their sophomore year of high school all the way through their graduation from high school, both on academics (test prep, writing) and on life skills (time management, financial literacy, leadership). Each student is paired with two mentors who stay with them through the duration of the program. The vast majority of our students will be the first from their families to attend college, and we strive to give them the tools they need to thrive in college and in life. Our sessions are held at the main USC campus, giving students a taste of the college experience.

As a tutor, you will work with a small group of students, focusing either on their test taking skills in either math or writing/critical thinking. Your support, guidance, and teaching will be instrumental to helping them maximize their SAT score and gain acceptance to the best schools!
