Step Up Tutoring’s mission is to drive student success in under-resourced communities by providing free online tutoring and mentorship to elementary school students. Our volunteer tutors not only offer academic support to students, but also provide valuable mentorship and social support. Our goal is to increase engagement, improve academic performance, and strengthen students’ social safety net. We are currently supporting LAUSD and AUSD students from Title I schools!
School closures and remote learning due to the coronavirus crisis have exacerbated the massive divide in schooling in the United States. Under-resourced communities have been disproportionately impacted by the pandemic and, though schools have returned to in-person instruction, students are still recovering. Fortunately, the technological resources that school districts provided students with during the pandemic have made the infrastructure for Step Up Tutoring possible for the first time. We are working to get those students back on track in the classroom through personalized, 1-on-1 virtual instruction.
