Educational Justice brings together middle school students (in grades 5 through 8) with high school students each week in a secure online/in-person setting where they navigate a fun and engaging weekly curriculum to develop the critical skills students need to thrive in school and life. As middle school students grow social and emotional skills and gain inspiration from positive role models, high school students get hands-on opportunities to develop and practice leadership and professional skills.
This database includes an initial set of organizations that offer tutoring, technology platforms or academic interventions along with relevant information if available.

- 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.

The Tuition: Individualized Learning Programme (TILP) is designed to,
- Target literacy attainment
- Provide accurate assessment using the New Group Reading Test (NGRT)
- Identify gaps in learning and provide strategies, suggestions, and interventions
- Address pupils’ individual needs through teaching strategies and Reading Wise
- Individual support – School teaching staff (SEMH), ReadingWise and EE Operational lead.
- Raise attainment alongside supporting their emotional needs (SEMH).
The Tuition: Individualised Learning Programme (TILP) is a three-term programme. As part of the TILP project, teaching staff were carefully chosen to carry out 1-1 tuition (25hrs), where they already had a good relationship with the young person. This enabled the ‘Tutor – Tutee’ to build a stronger relationship and enable the young person to fully engage in the tuition and make progress as a result by raising their attainment whilst supporting their emotional needs.

The GO Foundation runs the GO Fellowship, an AmeriCorps national service program providing students in grades 3-12 with high-dosage tutoring in ELA and/or math and near-peer mentoring in an embedded model – from morning arrival through the end of the school day. Our tutors (“GO Fellows”) are typically recent college or high school graduates serving as AmeriCorps members who are trained to provide a year of hands-on service in schools. GO Fellows, who undergo a rigorous selection process, develop the communities they serve, mentor for leadership, and instruct for mastery. GO Foundation currently serves in district and charter schools in CT, DC, Newark NJ, and New York City.
GO Foundation has three key goals.
1. Improving literacy and math achievement for students served. Unlike most tutorial models, the GO Fellowship is designed to integrate fully into schools. Across GO program sties, 9 out of 10 teachers report that Fellows improve student learning.
2. Building school community. GO Fellows act as near-peer mentors and help students grow their social and emotional skills. Most program sites create additional mentoring opportunities through sports teams, clubs, affinity groups, and/or advisory groups that GO Fellows co-facilitate with teachers and other site staff. Additionally, GO Fellows often support the development and execution of extracurricular activities, after-school programs, and enrichment initiatives that complement student and school culture.
3. Increasing representation in the classroom. GO strives to recruit Fellows who represent the communities in which we serve. Nearly two-thirds of GO Fellows are people of color and their life experiences often mirror those of their students. To attract much-needed talent to the educational sector, promising Fellows who are interested in teaching are selected for a Teacher Residency program.
GT matches Brandeis students with Waltham public school students (K-12) for free 1 on 1 tutoring in any academic subject on campus
Students are referred to GO based on academic and financial needs. Students are paired with a private tutor at no cost and begin a journey together that will last through middle school. Every student receives two, one-hour sessions per week over 30 weeks— resulting in 60 additional hours of individualized academic support and care in a safe and nurturing after-school environment. Tutoring takes place on-site, at the child's school, allowing a smooth end-of-day transition for students. The consistency and support provided change a child's academic trajectory in profound ways.
Additional academic and social-emotional support from a safe, stable, and reliable role model is critical for the future of our most vulnerable students.
GO Tutors meet with classroom teachers at the start of the year to set learning goals for their students. They observe students in the classroom and attend curriculum nights and parent-teacher conferences. This individualized system of support ensures the child's academic needs are met.
In addition to one-on-one tutoring, GO tutors serve as mentors. They are a bridge between home and school, partnering with parents and caregivers to provide enrichment opportunities for the family. Whether tickets to a play, a sporting event, visiting a museum, or receiving sponsorship for swimming or music lessons, this added level of trust, support, and opportunity transform students' feelings about school, their community, and life.
GO worked in partnership with the Ithaca City School District Bus Department until 2019, when the pandemic turned our world inside out. For 14 years, GO students were transported home at the end of their tutoring session, providing a smooth end-of-day transition for students whose families have little to no access to transportation. When ICSD suspended bus service, GO found creative ways to ensure students could continue tutoring after school and on-site, including membership with a local nonprofit organization, Ithaca Carshare. GO received emergency grant funds to cover the cost of transportation, and many tutors drove students home following their tutoring sessions.
Three years into the pandemic, GO continues to face transportation challenges. This year, several ICSD after-school programs have agreed to accept GO students into their programs at no cost, and many students will participate in a brand new initiative called The GO Club. Centrally located at BJM Elementary, The GO Club will be home to children from six elementary schools, allowing them to broaden their peer groups while building social skills in a cooperative learning environment. The ICSD bus department will once again provide the necessary transportation for GO students.
