Los Angeles is home to the second-largest public school district in the nation! Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD) serves over 430,000 students across more than 1,000 schools.
Yet only about 28% of LAUSD students meet or exceed math standards, and just 43% do so in English Language Arts (CAASPP, 2023). With more than 70% of LAUSD students classified as economically disadvantaged, the need for equitable, accessible support is more critical than ever. That’s where UPchieve comes in. Students who use UPchieve just 9 times often see meaningful gains in their performance. Our tutors are available on demand to explain tough concepts, assist with homework, and build confidence for long-term academic success.

A local Los Angeles tutor can cost anywhere from $25 to $75 per hour, depending on experience and subject area. But UPchieve offers 100% free tutoring for students attending Title 1 middle and high schools or living in low-income neighborhoods throughout the U.S.
At UPchieve, our mission is to ensure that every student—no matter their background—gets the support they need to graduate high school, get into the college of their choice, and achieve upward mobility.
Despite LA’s ongoing investment in public education, gaps in achievement remain wide for students from low-income backgrounds. Over 70% of LAUSD students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch (LAUSD, 2023), underscoring the urgent need for accessible academic support.
We’re here to help close that gap by providing free, one-on-one tutoring for the students who need it most.
Skip the search for “tutors near me”—with UPchieve, you can create a free account, log in, and get matched with a tutor in under 10 minutes.
UPchieve has dozens of tutors based in Los Angeles and thousands more worldwide. Since our tutors are virtual, you can get help anytime, whether you’re in Koreatown or Sun Valley.
You can study from your home, a library, or even a park with Wi-Fi! We designed UPchieve to be on-demand and fit your busy LA schedule. Whether it’s 2 pm or 2 am, sign on and improve your grades.
Our tutors cover more than 30 subjects, including Algebra 1, Enligh, SAT, college counseling and more.
We also offer support for tests like the SAT and ACT, along with help applying to colleges and universities in California—like UCLA, UC Berkeley, Cal State LA, and more!
Finding a tutor who meets your learning needs is key to success. Look for empathy, experience, and resourcefulness. UPchieve vets and trains all our volunteer tutors, ensuring you’ll match with a supportive tutor every time.
