Program Overview

Mission

Teens Tutor Teens is built upon the wish for high school peers to succeed in the school system. Education is found to be an important element in life in deciding the role the student will have. In order to ensure the best for students, Teens Tutor Teens has implemented leadership and community service to Teens who need aid achieving academic success. Teens can receive free tutoring from other teens who have proven to be academically exceptional in their community. However, teens who are economically disadvantaged will be given priority. The mission is to provide other teens with the chance to go and thrive at college and to start off life on the right foot.

Program Description

Teens Tutor Teens is designed to allow youth to guide and educate youth on their educational journey. K-12 youth and those seeking GED assistance are paired with Teen Tutors who have undergone rigorous vetting and instruction approval to work with students. It is 1:1 tutoring but can also be a small group.
