UPchieve is an edtech nonprofit. We provide free online tutoring and college counseling to help middle school and high school students in the United States, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. We’re on a mission to democratize academic support across the United States by offering this service. Why? Because all students should have an equal opportunity to succeed and achieve upward mobility regardless of whether they can afford a tutor or not.
Using our website or tutoring app, students can request and get paired with a live volunteer tutor in under 5 minutes. So far, we’ve matched 381,000+ on-demand tutoring requests from 57,000+ students across all 50 states, and our work has been recognized by Forbes and TIME.
UPchieve has many policies and procedures in place that are designed to keep students safe! For starters, all of our Academic Coaches go through a lengthy screening, approval, and onboarding process. We also monitor sessions on the platform to ensure student safety. However, at the end of the day, you’re still talking to strangers on the internet—that’s why we recommend that you never share personal information like your full name or where you live with anyone online, including your coach!
UPchieve's online tutoring is 100% free and always will be! As a nonprofit organization, our revenue comes from charitable donations from individuals and foundations who support our mission to democratize academic support.
Any student who attends an eligible middle school, or high school or lives in an eligible zip code can use UPchieve. If you’re a student from a public middle or high school in the United States, you’re likely eligible! Sign-up now!
No! We intentionally designed UPchieve's platform so that you could use it without waiting for your parent or school's permission. That being said, if your parent, teacher, or school has questions about UPchieve, please feel free to direct them to our website or have them reach out to support@upchieve.org.
Our Academic Coaches can help you in many scenarios of student life! Request a session when you need to:
Students may not use UPchieve to cheat on their assignments. This includes asking for help with questions from an exam, using the platform to get answers to your homework without making an effort to participate, or asking a coach to write an essay for you. If your teacher would be mad at you, it’s probably cheating.
BTW… they do it for free
