We affect change by providing academic and cultural enrichment for grades K-12, such as high school academic support, college access mentoring, in school tutoring, daily K- 8 after school programs, and Let’s Get Ready SAT tutoring.

Hi,
My name is Roland Li. I’m a second year medical student at UPenn. I heard about your tutoring program from Civic House on campus. I used to do a lot of math tutoring as an undergraduate at Columbia and am now kind of missing it. I’m interested in your Let’s Get Ready SAT tutoring program. Can you give me more information about it?
Thanks,
Roland
