High impact tutoring is effective at helping increase school outcomes for K-12 students. After a long period of online schooling, some kids in Central Illinois could really use your help and support. The Illinois Tutoring Initiative will assist tutors and their K-12 students through strong training, available resources and materials, and direct connections to district curriculum. Areas for tutoring include K-8 reading, K-8 math, and 9-12 math. Tutors for the High School Online Math portion will be matched in a one-on-one setting or with a small group of high school students (grades 9-12 consisting of 1-3 individuals per small group) based upon content area and age-level. Join the pool of tutors and we will get you matched with a student when available.
Tutors from across the state will work in small groups of 1-3 students to tutor high school (grades 9-12) students in the areas of Algebra and/or Geometry in Illinois. Tutors will be matched with students by proximity, and type of tutoring (1:1 versus small group). Tutoring format will occur in an online-only capacity. Tutors will work consistently with the same student(s) for the period of one semester for 3 hour-long sessions per week. Tutors will have an additional 1.5 hours of planning time per week to prepare for tutoring sessions. Additionally, tutors will be paid for training prior to entering the pool of available tutors. Tutor matches are not guaranteed and all tutors will be placed into a pool for matching with students are requested by districts across the state. Tutoring sessions could be scheduled during weekdays, week nights, or weekend hours as determined by the high school student schedule. The sessions will be scheduled at consistent times week over week for the duration of the semester.

The Illinois Tutoring Initiative is a 2-3-year grant-funded project that will end after funding ceases. Tutors will be matched on a semester basis. Tutors will also be paid for required training and planning time for tutoring sessions (1.5 hours per week).
