Have you considered partnering with programs like QuestBridge? Their scholarship changed my life. They also offered a junior-year mentorship program with a college admissions newsletter and a complimentary essay-review. I think there's a chance here to collaborate in 9th, 10th, and 11th grade.

Also, are there any plans to offer non-English services? A lot of recent immigrant families would benefit from tutors who are bilingual in their language.

Going from a primarily low-income school to a good college showed me how much of the achievement gap in college between poor and wealthy students simply comes down to tutelage. This kind of work is really important - kudos to your team.

Great suggestions! We partner with some other nonprofits similar to QuestBridge (e.g., College Track), but we're not yet partnered with QuestBridge. It sounds like we should be though—it's awesome to hear how impactful they were on your life!

Re: tutoring in other languages, I completely agree it's needed. We hope we can add tutoring in at least Spanish in the next two years. We've already started asking volunteers during onboarding what other languages they speak, but as of now we don't have enough volunteers fluent in other languages to launch tutoring in those languages.
