- 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.

Access’ Self-Directed Learners' Tutoring Program is a 40-session, metacognitive learning development program that develops learning competence among each student in 40 sessions. Our goal is to help students develop fluency in literacy-based applications and in foundational self-directed study skills that aid learning. Another intent is to strengthen students' skills in self-directed learning strategies as well as to facilitate their ability to construct meaning from informational text. Our tutors are skilled in using a venerated cognitive science learning vehicle, Reciprocal Teaching, and in integrating cognitive strategies into the students’ learning process.
Because constructing understanding requires both cognitive and metacognitive elements, Access’ 40-session program is designed for students in grades 4-12. The program teaches and reinforces skills with the goal of accelerating students’ capacity to learn and improve their reading and writing competence. The summer program seeks to help students construct knowledge using cognitive strategies, guide, regulate, and evaluate their learning by using metacognitive strategies and provide students with a jump start for regular school programming.

For nearly 20 years, Aspire has collaborated with fellow Bay Area education nonprofits and schools to design customized programs that empower historically underserved students to reach greater academic results and achievement levels. Tutoring programs take place during the school day in-class or after-school in partnership with other programs (such as Girls Inc or Boys & Girls Club). While many of our programs typically deal with the SAT, ACT, or high school entrance exams, our specialists provide academic support in all subjects.
AVID offers tutoring that is:
- Structured: A process of repeatable steps allows for consistency across models; teachers, tutors, and students are trained on, reflective of, and continually coached in that process.
- Student-Centered and Safe: All tutorial models are built on a foundation of relational capacity so that students feel supported while seeking solutions.
- Inquiry-Based: Tutors and peers ask higher-order questions instead of offering answers.
- Collaborative: Peers use their collective agency to resolve points of confusion and support each other.
- Equitable: Defined roles and responsibilities ensure equal participation.
- Metacognitive: Students identify where they are confused, and then summarize their new learning and reflect on the process.
For the past 10 years Bay Area Tutoring Association has been providing school day, after school, weekend and evening tutoring programs - both online and on premise. Our on premise programs occur during the school day in-class and after school in conjunction with youth development programs (YMCA, Boys & Girls Club etc,.). Core subjects are English, digital literacy, numeracy, reading comprehension and math. 1:7 tutor to student ratio. Depending on grade level, tutor to student ratio, our session lengths vary from 30 minutes to 90 minutes. We use school-approved curriculum, and also offer, Pearson, Edmentum and Leveled Literacy separately as needed. Our online tutoring programs are also offered during the day. We prefer to offer small group online programs in the evenings (after 6pm) so parents may observe and ask questions.
Our goal is to get all participants at grade-level proficiency or above in math and/or reading. We accomplish this via small-group tutoring for grades PK4-12 in in-school, after-school, summer, and virtual programs targeted primarily at low-performing schools and students in South Dallas and surrounding communities. Students receive individualized attention, achieve academic mastery in core subjects, and show demonstrable proof of applied learning that will ensure their academic success in middle school, high school, and beyond. Each student is assessed, followed by the development of a customized learning plan. Certified professionals, assisted by trained volunteers, provide two to three hours of weekly tutoring using integrated exercises, workbooks, and storybooks. Students develop self-discipline, focus, and ability as they progress at their own pace; promoting confidence in their own abilities.

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.
