Tutoring Chicago

For more than sixty years, Tutoring Chicago has delivered the power of education through one-to-one tutoring. The organization offers both digital and in-person tutoring options to 1,500 students with the help of over 1,500 volunteer tutors. Each student receives up to 48 hours of free tutoring throughout the academic year.

Tutoring Chicago is the largest one-to-one, after-school tutoring program offering consistent, long-term pairings of students and volunteers in the Chicagoland area. Each student is matched with their own dedicated and trained adult volunteer tutor for the school year, meeting once a week for one and a half hours of individualized instruction. Tutoring Chicago’s curriculum and resources are carefully curated by program staff, who are primarily former educators. Volunteers provide critical, supplemental education along with developmental experiences and positive relationships for children in 1st through 12th grades.
