Our Story

In-classroom tutoring for Manhattan elementary students.

What we believe

Tutoring Solutions NYC gives elementary students in Manhattan a consistent volunteer in their own classroom. Support happens during the school day, not after school in a separate location.

We recruit high school and college students who can commit to a weekly schedule. The work is tutoring in reading, writing, and math. The result we aim for is stronger skills and greater confidence.
