"Davon is hilarious, and he loves to learn! I absolutely love being his tutor."

"Sofia - my first and current student - helped me fall in love with teaching and mentorship. Watching her grow as a student as a young person has been the most incredible experience."

"Our tutor is very patient with my son and encourages him even if he gets it wrong."

"My daughter was diagnosed with ADHD, she was behind in Math and her teachers would put her in lower level classes.

My daughter was paired with Lucia who is an exceptional bilingual tutor! Lucia delivers such skillful assistance and I am convinced that Lucia's invaluable support is a vital component that continues to give my daughter the confidence to succeed.

Lucia provides an individualized approach to learning that allows my daughter to move seamlessly through the sessions.

Learn To Be succeeds in exceeding the highest standards.

Learn To Be has learned the power of creating amazing experiences for families!"

"It has truly been such an awesome experience witnessing a child struggle with reading and then now come to love it and call it his favorite class. I truly enjoy my experience with LTB."

"My favorite thing about LTB is the opportunity to create a chapter in my community, giving my fellow high school students the opportunity to serve others and provide them with the confidence to tutor other students."

"I've only had one session with this student so far BUT I can already tell she is so so eager to learn, and she is super engaged; and it feels like even though it's the first one, we've already formed a great little bond!"

"Not only have we seen an improvement in the academic performance of the students we have tutored, but we have also witnessed a noticeable increase in their confidence and enthusiasm for learning.

Learn To Be has not only helped us to make a difference in the lives of these deserving students, but it has also enriched our own lives in ways we never imagined."

How it started ➡️➡️ How it's going

This month, we hit an incredible milestone at Learn To Be—10,000 hours of tutoring in a single month. The best part? Knowing that more and more students are getting individualized help.

But we couldn't help but reflect back to 2017, when our hours dipped to 0. At that time, things weren't working and we weren't fulfilling our mission to reach underserved youth. We figured it was time to shut it down.

But we gave it another shot, pivoted to a new business model, and things started to take a turn. It's pretty amazing to see what our small team of 5 (+thousands of volunteers) have been able to accomplish. 🥹

For anyone reading, a friendly reminder—if you believe in something, just keep going.

"She has improved so much with reading out loud and understanding what is going on in the story. She also has started asking questions when she doesn't understand something, which is great."

"Whenever I could not tutor for extended periods, I was able to find substitute tutors who could specifically work with my students' needs.

It shows how Learn To Be is committed to making tutoring accessible and tailored to individual needs."

"I love the tutor that my daughter has been tutoring with so far. Great lessons and wonderful teaching. Ms. Jessica Brown is indeed a great tutor!

"Learn To Be is an incredible platform that's set up for the process of tutors and students!

The website is organized incredibly to ease navigation and set-ups, and the bonds you form on the platform are incredibly fulfilling."

"I want to express my sincere gratitude for the exceptional support and dedication that Emma provided to my son Thomas during their tutoring sessions. Her efforts have made a significant positive impact on his learning experience."

"There were frustrating moments when I could not think of a way to help him understand certain grammatical rules, but the whole experience was a learning process, and I think I learned a lot more from him than he did from me.

I don't usually have the opportunity to speak to younger kids in an academic setting, so talking with my student 1:1 really gave me a lot of joy and price for the progress we made in his reading."

"I really thank you for having Aminata as Yaelis' tutor.

I can see a big improvement since Yaelis has started working with Aminata."

"Thank you, Learn To Be, for being so much more than I expected, so much more than some service hours for NHS, and giving me a place to get outside of myself and do something meaningful. Though the impact may be small in the grand scheme, I am filled with joy and pride for my one student, and I am so happy to get to be a part of his educational journey, and I hope to be a part of many others."

"We are so blessed and grateful to have found you guys."

"Learn To Be has impacted me by giving me the chance to educate children with special needs and children who just needs a boost.

Thank you for giving me the opportunity to continue as an educator."

"My favorite thing about Learn To Be is helping out my student who's struggling in Math and Reading. She's a 3rd grader, and she really didn't do so well at the beginning, but as I've been working with her, she's improved SO MUCH!!"

"I found a high school student who was taking College Algebra without having taken Algebra 2.

We were both very happy that she passed the course with a B."

"I've loved seeing the tremendous improvement in my student's mathematical abilities and the growth in her confidence!"
