Our Program
Our tutors are experienced educators whom we recruit, background check, train, and certify. Each accepted student is paired with one tutor for the term of the program.
Our tutors schedule each student for twelve 1.5-hour tutoring sessions once per week for 3-4 months. These sessions will take place online or, in special cases, in-person.
Who We Serve
Educate. Radiate. Elevate. is committed to equitable access to high-quality instruction for youth.
Our program supports K – 12 students from families that identify as both BIPOC and who are experiencing significant economic hardship. Students can nominate themselves or be nominated by someone else (i.e. family member, teacher, coach, etc.)
To be Accepted Students Must:
- Be in a grade K - 12
- Reside in IL or TX
- Identify as Black, Indigenous, or a Person of Color (BIPOC)
- Be currently experiencing significant economic hardship
- Demonstrate an active leadership role at home, in the classroom, at school and/or in the local community
- Have at least a 2.5 Cumulative GPA for the past 2 years
- Submit a Letter of Recommendation from a non-family member
Program Requirements
- The student must not cancel/reschedule with less than 12 hours notice more than twice in their 3-4 month term
- If the student is more than 5 minutes late twice, it counts as one unexcused absence
Our Budget
Providing a student with a full semester of tutoring costs approximately $500-1,000 (depending on the K-12 student’s grade level). These funds are used to cover the cost of operations, tutoring materials, and the tutor’s pay. Our tutors are paid at competitive professional hourly rates.
