Program Overview

Mission

Our mission is to empower students and school districts across the country by providing customizable, accessible, in-person and online tutoring solutions. By building a bridge between curriculum and tutoring sessions, we aim to enhance learning outcomes and unlock the full academic potential of each student. We are dedicated to fostering personalized tutoring experiences, supported by high-dosage learning strategies, to help students overcome challenges and excel in their academic journey.

Program Description

HeyTutor's program vets, screens, and trains tutors directly from a district's community to serve students live, and in-person on their campus. Our inclusive Learning Gap Curriculum embraces extensive academic standards to provide students with a solid foundation across subjects. It often involves diagnostic assessments to identify learning gaps, followed by resources and activities aimed at closing those gaps and ensuring that all students can achieve the expected learning outcomes. Tutoring is embedded during the school day with push in or pull out sessions or before/after school alongside childcare and enrichment opportunities. HeyTutor can also leverage district curriculum to support in-classroom initiatives.
