Trained university student tutors provide one-on-one or small group instruction tailored to the needs and skills of each student three or more days each week. To reduce barriers, tutors provide these services at no cost to families and in various settings and times. Some provide services at school during the school day or during after-school programs, and others provide services remotely using technology.
