Our Commitment to Educational Equity

At Mind of a Child Tutoring, we believe every child deserves access to academic support, regardless of their family’s financial circumstances. Our mission is to make tutoring accessible, affordable, and meaningful for students and families.

We connect middle and upper school students with college tutors who provide individualized support based on each student’s academic needs, subject areas, and learning goals. Through one-to-one tutoring and positive mentorship, we help students strengthen academic skills, build confidence, ask questions, and develop the tools they need to succeed.

We are committed to breaking down financial barriers to education and ensuring that tutoring is an opportunity available to every student—not a privilege reserved for those who can afford it.

“Research from Harvard’s Opportunity Insights shows that unequal access to out-of-school academic support—including tutoring, test preparation, and enrichment opportunities—has become a significant driver of the widening achievement gap between high- and low-income students. While affluent families can often invest in additional academic resources, families with fewer financial resources are far less likely to have access to the same opportunities. The result is reflected in long-term outcomes: among children from the bottom 20% of the income distribution, only about 2.5% achieve SAT scores of 1300 or higher. This disparity is not accidental—it is the result of a compounding opportunity gap.”
