Helping New York students succeed with high-impact tutoring.

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

Whether helping preschoolers make a strong start or working with K-3 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 2023, our tutors in New York have already helped more than 1,100 local students get on track to succeed! You can be part of creating more success stories in New York. Learn more about our opportunities to get involved.

The Need in New York

Reading and math skills are the building blocks for future success. Linked to higher graduation rates, college enrollment, and lifetime earnings, these foundational skills are essential.

But in New York, too many students need a boost getting to grade level. According to the 2024 Nation’s Report Card, only 31% of fourth graders are proficient in reading, and just 26% of eighth graders are proficient in math.

Math Corps and Early Learning Corps are helping change that! Tutors provide extra academic support and encouragement to help students strengthen their reading and math skills, building confidence and setting them up for success in school and beyond.
