OC Tutor Connect was founded on a simple belief: access to academic support shouldn't depend on where you live or what your family can afford. Orange County is one of the wealthiest counties in the country, yet that wealth isn't shared equally. Many students in our own community lack consistent access to tutoring that others take for granted. We connect local middle and high school volunteers with K–8 students who need support, building a bridge between students who have resources and knowledge to share and students who need it most. One match, one hour a week, one student at a time. We're working to make sure every kid in Orange County has someone rooting for their success.
OC Tutor Connect matches K-8 students across Orange County (starting in Santa Ana) with volunteer high school tutors from Sage Hill and neighboring schools. Every match is built around one core belief: every student deserves someone in their corner, regardless of their zip code.
A free, community-built tutoring platform that pairs students who need academic support with trained peer tutors, tracks session progress, and measures real outcomes over time — no fees, no waitlists, no barriers to access.
Piloting summer 2026, expanding through the 2026–27 school year as we grow our tutor network, refine our matching system, and build partnerships with local schools and nonprofits across the county.
All of Orange County, California (starting in Santa Ana), home to some of the county's largest and most underserved student populations, with plans to expand countywide as the platform grows.
Orange County is one of the wealthiest counties in the country, but that wealth isn't distributed evenly: some communities have every resource a student could need, while others, just a few miles away, don't have consistent access to tutoring or academic support. We built OC Tutor Connect to close that gap, one match at a time.
