Program Overview
Mission
PeerLab aims to match qualified high school tutors with students in grades 3-12 for free, virtual tutoring. We are currently expanding our services by partnering with institutions across the country.
Program Description
PeerLab first started with a core group of passionate high school students wanting to provide peer-based academic support. Through our interactive site, students can sign up for one-time or recurring sessions. Once matched with a student, tutors will schedule a Zoom/Google Meet.
