About Step Up Tutoring
Step Up Tutoring is on a mission to drive student success by providing free online tutoring and mentorship for elementary school students from under-resourced communities. Our unique value is in fostering the caring human relationship that forms between a student and their volunteer tutor during their 90 minutes of focused attention each week. We believe this connection is the key to unlocking learning gains, building confidence, and cultivating habits of success.
Since its founding in 2020 in partnership with Los Angeles Unified School District, Step Up has delivered over 250,000 hours of 1:1 tutoring to nearly 10,000 students, working across 25+ districts and with 40+ colleges and universities. We are pioneering AI-powered tutor assistance tools, working with Stanford University and Ai2/Allen Institute for AI. Step Up is backed by leading education funders including NewSchools Venture Fund, The Eli & Edythe Broad Foundation, Arrow Impact, Karsh Family Foundation and more.
