For nearly 60 years Tutoring Chicago has dedicated its mission to delivering the power of education to children facing economic barriers through one-to-one tutoring and high-quality programming that is not only academic, but developmental and reflective.

Tutoring Chicago's programs take place on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Wednesdays from 6-7:30pm, in-person or virtually.

In addition to academic support, programs focus on social-emotional skills, mentorship and relationship building all of which build the foundation for a lasting impact.

Chicagoland students need great tutors, mentors and role models like you, now more than ever and no experience or special skills are required. Simply the desire to impact, inspire and empower a student. We invite you to join our 1200+ strong volunteer community making a real difference.

It’s well organized and does a great job breaking down what’s expected of you. You have easy access to whatever you need to work with your student and response time to questions is pretty immediate.

Tutoring Chicago is a great organization. I've been volunteering with them for almost a year. The program has improved even from last year, which a tell-tale sign of an organization that wants to grow and improve. If you're open to work with kids in this age range, I think this is the perfect program to do so.

Very friendly and helpful group of people. It was nice to be able to work with the children they tutored and the families of those children and see the special attention that each tutor gave the children. They all seemed to have a very nice bond.

I Would like to keep kids like my self off the streets and i have nothing else to do over the summer.And most kids that dont have anything to do end up being on the streets gang banging and end up getting killed and i dont want to be the one doing any of that.It wont only keep me off the streets it would keep me out the house.My mom wouldnt have nothing to worry aboout because she would know where im at.I love working with other kids so it wont be a problem for me because im a nice person and i can work as long as you need me to.I will always be on time so thats no worry.Thats all for now you can get to know some more about me if i get the job.I Wish My Self The Best Of Luck....
