Mission: Mission:

PeerGuide's mission is to provide free educational assistance to K-9th grade students who don't have sufficient academic support at home.

Program Description: Program Description:

Our program utilizes high-school and college students to assist younger children that don't have the educational support they need to succeed and reach their potential in school. All meetings we hold are virtual as our tutors and students live across the country. Our sessions are usually held on ZOOM, and schedules for sessions are very flexible as they are agreed upon by the parent/guardian of the student and the tutor. We are open to any accommodations or suggestions you may have as a student or a tutor in the future.
