Program Overview
Thinkist’s mission is to transform academic support, develop highly-trained future educators and industry leaders, and decrease educational equity gaps. We do this by partnering with higher education institutions and stakeholders at the school, district, county, and state levels to provide a collaborative approach to peer tutoring, professional tutor training, and secure peer tutor management and oversight for K-12 programs across the country.
Superintendents face three critical challenges:
1) Improving the performance of underperforming students
2) Mitigating the effects of poverty on student learning
3) A growing teacher shortage crisis
Thinkist provides scalable district-wide peer tutoring programs that work.
Our peer-to-peer online tutoring platform leverages the greatest untapped resource in education – students – and gives them the tools they need to help themselves thrive.
High-performing students are trained to become peer tutors. They earn certifications, and community service hours, and build their resumes.
Students who need help receive free tutoring rooted in a curriculum and educational approach validated by four decades of research.
School districts improve student outcomes and create a new generation of educators.
Built and advised by some of the leading minds in education, Thinkist makes high-value peer tutoring scalable, safe, and open to almost anyone.
