This database includes an initial set of organizations that offer tutoring, technology platforms or academic interventions along with relevant information if available. This is not meant to be an inclusive list, but a starting point. We welcome additional organizations to join the database by completing this form.

- Tutoring programs are those organizations that offer one-on-one and/or small group tutoring directly to students, either in-person, virtually, or through both modes of delivery.
- Technology platforms are technology platforms that facilitate tutoring programs.
- Interventions offer materials (e.g., an instructional scope and sequence, placement assessment, progress monitoring tools) that are used by a tutoring program, but do not offer tutoring directly.
This database is intended for Districts, States or nonprofits to identify potential tutoring partners, for potential tutors to identify potential employers and for tutoring organizations to have a clearer understanding of the landscape and to identify interventions that might be useful to their programs, if needed.
Please note that some of these programs are also listed on ProvenTutoring.org where you can find additional information on relevant research studies and costs.

SIPPS (Systematic Instruction in Phonological Awareness, Phonics, and Sight Words) is a research-based foundational skills program proven to help both new and struggling readers in grades K–12 build skills and confidence for fluent, independent reading.
City Year's AmeriCorps members serving as Student Success Coaches (SSCs) are diverse young adults who serve full-time on teams in systemically under-resourced K-12 schools. They implement City Year's core Whole School Whole Child program, forming near-peer, developmental relationships and providing research-based, integrated social, emotional and academic supports for students, combined with whole classroom and school supports to enable rich learning environments. City Year's SSCs partner with teachers to provide supplemental capacity and personalize the learning environment. They use youth development strategies and student data on social emotional skills and early warning indicators of high school graduation and post-secondary success, such as attendance, behavior and ELA and math course performance, to accelerate students' holistic development.

The Lucy Project offers several programs designed to improve literacy among disadvantaged children. Here is an overview of the key programs:
The Literacy Hub:
Initiated in May 2022, The Literacy Hub focuses on transforming the lives of disadvantaged children struggling with literacy by providing one-on-one reading intervention, training teachers in evidence-based literacy instruction, and supplying laptops to students.
Literacy Bootcamp:
This program provides intensive literacy training for teachers, incorporating Structured Literacy training, apprenticeships, and workshops. It aims to enhance teachers' abilities to deliver high-quality literacy instruction and intervention.
Science of Reading Literacy Summit:
This annual summit focuses on enhancing educators' understanding of the Science of Reading through evidence-based practices. It provides a platform for educators to learn from specialists and collaborate to improve literacy instruction.
Professional Learning for Teachers:
The Lucy Project employs instructional coaching as a professional development tool. Coaches work with teachers to support and improve their instructional practices, ultimately enhancing student learning outcomes.
