Issue

The problem we are trying to solve is the lack of quality and affordable tutoring services in our area. The relevance of this issue stems from the fact that more and more students are struggling academically, especially those from disadvantaged backgrounds who do not have access to adequate educational resources.

Let me tell you about a student I recently taught, whom we will call Sarah. Sarah is a high school student who struggled in math. Her parents are immigrants who work long hours and are unable to provide the support she needs to succeed in school. Sarah’s school had a tutoring program, but it was overcrowded, and the tutors were overwhelmed with the number of students they had to help. As a result, Sarah was not getting the help she needed to improve her grades.

Unfortunately, this is a common story in our community. Many students, like Sarah, fall behind academically because they don’t have access to the academic support they need. The current solution is inadequate because school programs are understaffed and over-enrolled, private tutoring services are too expensive for many families, and many students simply drop out due to lack of available resources.

This is why the problem exists: the education system is failing many students due to a lack of resources and support. We believe that every student deserves access to quality educational resources and support systems, and that is why we are committed to creating an affordable and effective tutoring service to meet this critical need.
