Common Ground Tutors

Mission: Mission:

Our virtual high-dosage tutoring program provides K-12 schools with personalized, small group tutoring aligned to their school’s Math and ELA curriculum. Our certified teachers focus on closing the learning gap, boosting test scores, and helping students reach their fullest potential.

Program Description: Program Description:

With Common Ground Tutors, students are grouped by skill level into small cohorts of 4 students and receive personal attention during their 45-minute tutoring sessions, three times a week. Students learn best when they develop a long-term relationship with a tutor who knows them well, cares for them, and gives them the personal attention they need. This is key to academic achievement, as well as social-emotional learning. SEL and positive psychology are core guiding principles in all our work, as research shows that SEL is closely linked to improvement in academic performance. Additionally, a whole-child educational philosophy is key to our approach. We begin each session with artistic inspiration: a poem, song, movement exercise, and/or story grounded in wisdom. This engages the whole child in learning: “head, heart, and hands.” Students receive a healing education and build a strong holistic foundation for their future.
