A local San Francisco tutor can cost between $40 to $100 per hour, reflecting the city’s high cost of living. However, UPchieve provides 100% free tutoring for students who attend Title 1 middle and high schools or live in low-income neighborhoods anywhere in 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 San Francisco’s progressive education system, there’s a stark gap in achievement for socioeconomically disadvantaged students. Over 50% of SFUSD students qualify for free or reduced lunch (SFUSD 2023 data), underscoring the need for accessible support. We’re here to close that gap by reaching students who face barriers to academic resources.
