Learning Matters, Inc.

A nonprofit organization with a mission to reduce barriers to learning and ensure educational equity Learning Matters, Inc. was formed to address this situation.

began in July, 2006 in response to a need in the Nashville community for high quality educational support services for children from all economic backgrounds. Given the cost of private tutoring, assessment, and advocacy services, the unfortunate fact is that this type of extra, individualized help has only been available for those students whose families could afford it and beyond the reach of those whose families could not.
