EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR – TUTOR CHAT LIVE FOUNDATION

About Tutor Chat Live Foundation:

The Tutor Chat Live Foundation, operating as TutorChatLive.org (“TCL”), is a web-based 501c3 organization whose mission is to support underserved secondary school students in achieving academic success by providing access to free, live, online tutoring and fostering an online academic community. TCL aims to redefine online, on-demand tutoring by posing no barriers for students to receive supplemental support outside the classroom. Volunteer tutors use a customized chat platform on our website to tutor students in real-time, and the tutoring is subject to a waitlist that prioritizes the most at-risk students seeking help to access the tutors. Launched in February 2010, TCL has impacted thousands of struggling students. Our tutors hold an average of 800 tutoring chat sessions with students each month.
