Elevate Tutoring

Mission: Mission:

Elevate Tutoring advances social justice by bridging economic and achievement gaps on the path to-and-through college. We provide training, work experience, career development, and fellowships to socioeconomically-disadvantaged first-generation college students - our Tutor Fellows - who, in turn, provide high-quality STEM tutoring, mentorship, and growth mindset coaching to their younger peers in middle and high school. Our approach emphasizes asset-based mentorship, metacognitive approaches for both tutors and tutees, and the value of paying it forward.

Program Description: Program Description:

Elevate offers free STEM tutoring to schools, after-school programs, and families in the San Fransisco Bay Area. Tutors are first-generation college students trained in growth mindset coaching methods and educational equity. To qualify for free services, schools or families must meet regional low-income standards.
