As former tutors, we have personally seen the massive unfair advantage 1-1 instruction and mastery learning can make in a child’s education. With the pandemic, the education gap has grown larger than ever as those who can afford tutoring are taking advantage of it to get ahead, and those who can’t are left behind, often missing out entirely on learning when they miss key concepts required for moving forward with their learning. It is our mission to close this gap by providing the highest quality free tutoring available to any student who needs it.

Mastery Hour

The AAR program is a unique opportunity for students in grades 10-12 to engage in original research in an area of their choosing. Students are paired with mentors who are experts in the field of the student's choosing. It is possible, and encouraged, for students to collaborate with one another on a given project. Mentors support and facilitate the student's work in the mentor's lab, office, or other appropriate environment.

Advanced Authentic Research

The AAR program is an opportunity for students in grades 10 through 12 to investigate a topic of their own choosing through original research. Students are paired with an expert mentor based on their stated interests or field of study. As a mentor, your role is to provide content expertise. You do not need to grade or evaluate student work. The most important part of mentoring is checking in with your students regularly to give feedback and answer their questions. It's very important to express the importance of asking questions and encourage them to explore the subject. If you're interested in volunteering as a mentor, please fill out the form below.
