“I had a hard time understanding biology and math at the high school level. I’d watch YouTube videos to understand the concept but they weren’t personalized to the problem questions I was working on. I’m grateful for UPchieve because the tutors are knowledgeable and friendly. Since using UPchieve, my grade in biology went from 75% to 85% and I’m now getting 90s in math.”

NATALIA

“UPchieve helps me maintain my GPA to get into the college that I want. After high school, I’d like to attend Wesleyan University to study psychology. I aspire to be a licensed clinical psychologist because helping others with their mental health is important to me. Mental health is often not taken seriously in society and I hope to change that.”
