Tutoring Chicago is a great place to volunteer! Working with one student every week is a rare opportunity to build a strong relationship with a student and a vital way to make a difference in the Chicago community. The staff is incredibly supportive and their passion for the organization’s mission is clear from the moment you sign up.

I just started as a tutor for Tutoring Chicago this year. I have loved it! The program has shown impressive results over the years in helping kids to improve their reading and math abilities. It is very organized and offers solid training/support to tutors. And it's really fun to build a relationship with the child that is assigned to you -- to watch him/her grow in ability and confidence throughout the year. And fun to get to know the other volunteers.

As a 3-year volunteer for Tutoring Chicago I can genuinely tell you what a positive impact this program is having on the community. The organization cares deeply and about the students as well as the tutors. The program is flexible and fun and it's been a joy to develop relationships with my student, fellow tutors and the TC staff.

I started volunteering with Tutoring Chicago several months ago. It has been a great experience. I am very impressed by their high level of organization, and their thoughtful and effective programming. Many nonprofits, while seeking to do good work, are quite disorganized. This can be very frustrating when you are volunteering your time to support them. I am happy to say that no such frustration occurs with Tutoring Chicago. They are extremely well run and my time with them feels very well spent. I have done volunteer tutoring before and it was nothing like this! Highly recommended.

Tutoring Chicago is the best volunteer experience I've ever had. They thoughtfully consider each piece of the program and do everything in their power to serve the best interest of their students. I have developed a wonderful relationship with the 4th grader who I tutor. It's so much more than just helping with his math homework, it's providing a space for a child to build a relationship with a trusted adult and to develop self-confidence. A wonderful organization - I am grateful to be a part of it!
