What is an Academic Coach?

Academic Coaches are volunteers on our platform that want to provide on-demand academic support to low-income high school students.

What is the time commitment?

There is no minimum time commitment to volunteer with UPchieve. The hours are highly flexible and there is no set schedule. If you have a busy week coming up, you can simply unselect all your availability on the schedule page or ignore that week’s requests. Most volunteers contribute on average just 30 minutes a week. This opportunity is perfect for individuals with busy lives that still want to volunteer and make an impact.

How does it work?

UPchieve tutoring sessions are done within our web app. It takes place in a virtual classroom that pairs one student with one volunteer. The virtual classroom includes a whiteboard and text-based chat.

Who can be an Academic Coach?

Just about anyone! If you’re a current college student or college grad, chances are you can help students with at least one topic on our platform. You do not need any prior tutoring experience. We provide training and support to ensure you are prepared to help students. We also let you choose what topics you want to tutor. If you’re good at algebra but not so much with calculus - no worries! You’ll still be able to help a lot of students.
