  • Although Pennsylvania ranks among the 10 states for public school student performance, there’s a gap in test scores and graduation rates for socioeconomically disadvantaged students. We’re here to fix that gap by reaching students who face barriers to accessing academic support. 

  • 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 vets and trains all of our volunteer tutors so you can be sure you’ll match with a supportive tutor every time.
