If you would like to work with a tutor virtually, you can sign yourself up for their Independent Learning Support tutoring program! Students are now be able to self-identify for our programs, enabling them to request a Boston Partners mentor on their own or with the help of a family member. For students under the age of 18, a parent or guardian can submit the nomination for a student to receive tutoring and mentoring support.
In the Independent Learning Support model, mentors are connected with Boston Public Schools students who have self-identified or been identified by their families as benefiting from extra, focused academic support. Once matched, mentors will meet with students on Google Meet for a minimum of one hour per week for the duration of the school year.
In this model, mentoring sessions are not bound by school hours – students and mentors can meet at an agreed-upon time to review classwork, work on projects, and build skills in the student’s area of need. There will be a silent proctor attending and monitoring all mentoring sessions for the safety and security of all parties.
If you would like to work with a tutor in person, please reach out to your advisor and/or teacher. They can help you sign up!
