Learn To Be

Organization Description

Learn To Be helps kids from under-resourced communities unlock their own potential by connecting them with free, 1-on-1 online tutoring. We believe that all kids should have access to an exceptional education — not just those whose families can afford one. Since 2012, our tutors have helped more than 3,500 students from low-income households and foster organizations excel in subjects ranging from basic math and reading comprehension to chemistry and precalculus. Unlike other free tutoring services, Learn To Be’s volunteers provide ongoing 1-on-1 support for as long as it takes for students meet their goals, resulting in an average test score increase of 15.8% and a GPA increase of 1.6. Learn To Be is committed to making the lives of kids from under-resourced communities easier, their opportunities greater, and their dreams bigger.

Program Information

This is a fully virtual volunteer opportunity that has a flexible schedule and can be done from any quiet learning environment. Your students will act as tutors on our platform. We usually ask for at least a full semester commitment from tutors, but we can be flexible. We provide a 75 minute virtual training to help tutors get started. We don't expect tutors to be professional educators, but we do expect them to be patient, open-minded, and put in the work.

Students and tutors create their own schedules. It is completely flexible to the needs of the student and tutor. We only ask that tutors dedicate at least 1 hour per week to working with their student. More is great, but not required.
