Tutors from across the state will work in 1:1 or small groups to tutor PK-12 students in Illinois. The Illinois Tutoring Initiative will provide tutoring services for over 8,500 K-12 students. Tutors will be matched with PK-12 students by proximity, content area and age-level. Tutoring may occur face-to-face or online. Tutors will work consistently with the same student(s) for the period of one semester for 3 hour-long sessions per week.

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 and receive a travel stipend for any face-to-face tutoring sessions.
