ORGANIZATION: Tutoring Chicago

image_20250306115529

While we are currently in the final quarter of the 24-25, we are actively looking for volunteers for the upcoming 25-26 year. Tutoring Chicago will offer both in-person and digital tutoring options to our tutors/students from late September to late May.

Become a volunteer tutor with Tutoring Chicago and work one-to-one with a 1st-12th grade student on a weekly basis during the school year. Tutors and mentors will focus on academic support, mentorship activities, social-emotional learning, and the importance of accountability.

No prior experience or special skills are necessary. Orientation and training are provided to all volunteers. All tutoring will take place remotely online through the Zoom platform. Digital sessions are held on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday evenings from 6-7:30PM (CST). Life Changing role models needed. Make a difference in a student's life today!


No special skills, no experience or background in education is necessary. Above all the willingness to be there and the desire to impact, inspire and empower a student. Being present is all it takes. One and a half hours per week is enough to change a kid's life.

  • A diverse representation of supportive adults who know them as individuals, value their needs and aspirations, and expose pathways for their success
  • Abundant exposure to knowledge, effective instruction, high quality resources, and critical technology
  • A secure sense of belonging and community that contributes to a healthy growth mindset
  • Accessible learning environments where role models are plentiful and a positive relationship with learning is encouraged
