How does youth tutor initiative work?
Youth Tutor Initiative is an entirely online tutoring program for students K-8. Students are matched with tutors at the beginning of each session based on their academic needs. Tutors will then schedule weekly meetings with their students until the end of the session. Students have the option of having one-on-one sessions with their tutors or they can join a group session with other students.
How Long does tutoring last?
Sessions last around 6 to 10 weeks (depending on the session). The Winter Sessions last around 7 weeks, while our Spring Sessions are around 10 weeks.
How much do services cost?
Youth Tutor Initiative is completely free! However, you are more than welcome to donate to help improve our services.
If I have more than one child, Can I sign them both uP?
If you have more than one child, you are able to sign them up for tutoring. Parents do need to fill out a tutor request form for each child being registered for tutoring.

How Do I schedule sessions?
