Washingtutors

Free online tutoring for D.C. Public School students.

I am Ananya, a DCPS graduate who wants to help students in D.C. The coronavirus pandemic has hit struggling students, overworked teachers, and underfunded schools hard.

Washingtutors is my answer.

What we do

Washingtutors is for our community.

We help D.C. students through free tutoring and extracurriculars, and guide volunteers who want to give back.

One-on-one tutoring

We offer free one-on-one tutoring through Zoom for any and all DCPS students in grades K–12. We're partnered with the DCPS system, and have worked with administrators, teachers, and counsellors at several schools in the city to help their students. We'll work with you and your student to make sure your needs are met, no matter what subject or level you need.

Enrichment clubs

6th and 7th graders can join our weekly Book Club on Mondays at 8 PM. We are open to adding more clubs if there is interest! In the summer, we also ran Bullet Journaling Club.

Volunteering

Washingtutors gives community service hours to DCPS or DCPS-certified students who want to tutor. Since we are a nonprofit, we run on volunteer support. During the pandemic, it's been hard to find ways to help the community—online tutoring with Washingtutors is a great way to give back.

Community non-profit

Washingtutors is a Federal 501(c)(3) Nonproft (EIN 86-2129877) and a D.C. Registered Nonprofit (Filing No. N00006606964), which qualifies us to give community service hours to DCPS students. We will always be a free service, and don't take a dime from our community.

Testimonials

Our community loves Washingtutors.

“I admire how they are willing to help children during the difficult times we all face due to COVID-19.”

Parent of a 4th grader who took writing tutoring and book club.

“Her tutor approaches her work like a true professional, provides my daughter with homework that challenges my daughter but is still at her level, and we have seen great improvement in her Spanish skills (as noted by her teacher!).”

Parent of a 7th grader who was (but not anymore!) struggling with Spanish.

“The founders and the tutor they brought on to work with my child are so smart, thoughtful, and patient. They pick excellent reading material,[...and] they have good discussions. They are just are so kind.”

Parent of a 4th grader who participates in writing tutoring and book club.

“The school knows her test grades have been improving greatly. The school thinks it is because of me. I tell them it's because of dedicated students who take their time out of a busy schedule to Volunteer to assist. The motivation, initiative, and having a caring Heart in helping my daughter is "Second to None!"”

Parent of a 5th grader who was falling behind, until Washingtutors!

“Washingtutors is a dream come true for any child that needs extra support in class. [...] This process if definitely setting him up for success in the long run. His tutor is great and stays in constant connection with me and my son.”

Parent of a 7th grader who was having a tough time in math, reading comprehension, and writing.

“My child feels more confident and capable of learning new material. She's happy, she's making more friends now because she's able to catch up with schoolwork. She was stressed about school before but now she's caught up and ended the school year with amazing grades. She wants to be a tutor when she grows up!”

Parent of a 5th grader.
