Tutor students in Mississippi.

Helping Mississippi students succeed with high-impact tutoring.

In Mississippi, fewer than one-third of students are proficient in reading and math. Together, we can help give kids more — more opportunities, more success and more confidence.

Whether helping K-3 students with reading or working with middle school students to build foundational math skills, we train everyday people to make an incredible impact as tutors. Placed at local schools, our tutors use proven strategies, providing extra practice and support to help students become stronger learners.

Since launching in 2021, our tutors in Mississippi have already helped 4,192 local students get on track to succeed! You can be part of creating more success stories in Mississippi. Learn more about our opportunities to get involved.
