Parent of 11th grader in Chicago
Things with [my student] have gone really well. We have been able to cover a lot of ground in all of our sessions and she has been able to show that she can independently and successfully apply the things we've covered.
Tutor of 11th grader in Chicago
The first two months of tutoring have been going perfect! We have been starting our sessions with an activity of High-Low-Buffalo-Rose and that has been working very well for me, as it not only helps me get closer with [my tutor], but also share some significant things about my life to someone. I enjoy going over all of my incorrect PSAT practice exam questions with her because she explains everything in such detailed way that it sticks into my brain. I also find the homework that she gives me helpful, as it not only helps me understand the material/content, but also work on my timing, which has been my greatest difficulty!

The first two months of tutoring have gone well with [my student]. She has been responsive to our sessions and is always willing to express her needs for class. We are in the habit of checking her grades every week to make sure she is on track with her work. I have also been working with her to build confidence.

The first month has been great. [My tutor] has been amazing to work with as always! She is very kind and helped me better understand the concepts I was struggling with by working with me through various examples. I look forward to our future sessions!
12th grader in Oak Park
My tutoring sessions have gone really well. She is very encouraging and accepting, so it is much better as an environment for me to learn.
11th grader in Chicago
I liked how the teaching was one-on-one and [the tutor] actually tried to teach me and have me do my best.
10th grader in Chicago
I felt that our first session went very well, better than any first session I've had so far. We talked in detail about her past experiences and obstacles and why she felt she had struggled so badly before despite her high scores in the diagnostics and her very good grades in Math 3 currently. She told me that she feels like her performance has depended a lot on her teachers and on whether she was able to avoid distractions. I told her that our main goal this term would be helping her become independent so that she could succeed even when her teachers weren't reaching her and for her to proactively control her environment and not just wait or hope for it to be conducive. I tried to focus on pointing her to more general strategies and resources as we worked.

Tutoring has been great so far, I love how kind and patient [my tutor] always is and she explains the material in a way that is easy for me to understand. She provides plenty of resources such as help videos, extra examples, and step-by-step directions on how to complete the problems. I can't think of anything that needs to be improved, it's been very helpful.

My first two months have gone really well! I appreciate the help, and explanations even when I’m still processing an approach to a problem or a new method! My tutor is an excellent tutor with patience!
11th grader in Chicago
[My student] was very engaged. Stayed focused throughout. Was solving the problems in her notebook and voicing out loud her thinking process which made it easier for me to redirect her if I needed her to rethink some line of reasoning.

11th grader in Chicago
Our daughter looks forward to tutoring and she’s mentioned some problem-solving techniques that they have covered. I would say it’s been a great experience for both of us. It’s given her more confidence in math especially. Exactly what I was looking for as a working mother of three. The extra academic help has been a blessing to us. Thank you.
Parent of 6th grader in Chicago
I am extremely thankful for all the tutoring services [my daughter] has received from Educate. Radiate. Elevate. She has gained confidence in her math skills and no longer dreads exam days. Her math grades have steadily improved to a B+. This small but significant achievement would not have been possible without Educate. Radiate. Elevate. tutoring services. Thank you Educate Radiate Elevate for providing these essential services to underrepresented communities who otherwise wouldn’t be able to afford tutoring services.
Parent of 11th grader in Chicago
[Our tutor] has been a great resource for our son. She helped him with the main subjects and she gave him tools to get organized. Our son is happy and they have great chemistry. The way your program selects the tutor is really good. Thank you for giving our family this gift. We really appreciate being part of this program. We send our warm thanks to your donors.
Parent of 12th grader in Houston
The tutoring is going very well. [My daughter] looks forward to it . [Her tutor] is not only smart, but also has a very welcoming warm personality. I knew last year that I couldn’t keep up with her homework and that I would have to seek out some help in order to keep her on track to be successful in school and hopefully our first college graduate. Thank you for all that you do.
Parent of 6th grader in Chicago
Some of the major accomplishments achieved these past few months are finishing and submitting my college applications, starting my senior year of high school, and possibly landing a fall internship with a tech company. Tutoring with [my tutor] has helped me with my problem-solving skills and working through each problem and trying to figure out how to solve it, and what key words/terms to look out for. She has been so supportive and kind, and has definitely helped improve my self confidence. She's a lovely tutor! The lessons from tutoring will continue to help me by teaching me to reach out to the teacher if I have questions, use acronyms to memorize formulas for solving different problems, and to continue practicing what I'm struggling with to improve my skills.
12th grader in Chicago
[My student] and I have created a really strong relationship with each other and it has been a pleasure getting to see her succeed in small and large ways. [My student] has been communicative, enthusiastic, and open to changing her style of learning throughout various subjects - and she has been successful in each.
Tutor of 11th grader in Chicago
Tutoring has gone wonderfully and I'm having a great time tutoring [my student]. She is very hard-working and sweet, so I'm grateful to have her as my student. We have been working on homework and PSAT prep during our sessions, and I'm seeing good progress. I've enjoyed working for this non-profit so much. She was a lot quieter during our first sessions, but through getting to know each other she has opened up and seems much more comfortable with me, which is a great sign! I'm very glad we got paired together.

[My tutor's] support for my college path meant the world to me! She was so excited and happy at the news and she has been a wonderful support through my whole college application process.
11th grader in Chicago
[My child] is definitely a lot more confident in her math skills. Also willing to learn new concepts. She was able to improve her math grade over the course of the semester. The tutoring gives her the space to really understand the math concept which in return boosts her confidence in math class."
Parent of 11th grader in Chicago
Every session with [my tutor] is lovely and productive, and she is able to explain the concepts in a way that is easier for me to understand. While the material is challenging, having [my tutor] as a guide has made a world of difference. She is always so patient and understanding!
12th grader in Oak Park
Some major accomplishments over these past few months are having the ability to run again, playing my first concert for orchestra, and being consistent with the practice exams for the SAT. Tutoring has helped me develop skills in which I can self-reflect when I've done something bad or just check up on myself. It's also helped me learn that listening to books is more effective for me compared to reading one. The lessons will help me explore more with my interest and not be embarrassed if I don't succeed. It has taught me to push myself and to believe in myself when I've given up.
11th grader in Chicago
I am so happy I get to work with [this student] again this Term! I am giving her a bit more challenging work this time, so we can really focus on prepping for the SEHS. I have her working a grade level above in math, language, writing, and some science skills.
Tutor of 6th grader in Chicago
