Life-changing role models needed at our newest site on the South Side!

Tutoring Chicago is a free one-to-one tutoring program for students in grades 1-10.

During the 2023-2024 school year, Tutoring Chicago will offer both in-person and digital tutoring options to our tutors/students from late September to late May.

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
