Connecting low-income HS students with free, 24/7 online tutoring
UPchieve is an edtech nonprofit that provides free, 24/7 online tutoring to low-income HS students. Using our app, students can request and get paired with a live volunteer in under 5 minutes. We’ve matched 100,000+ requests so far. Right now in the US, there are 8 million low-income HS students who don’t have anyone in their home who can help them with schoolwork. UPchieve is working to change that. Our vision is simple: we want to democratize access to academic support, so that every student has an equal opportunity to attend college and achieve upward mobility.
UPchieve is a nonprofit that provides free, 24/7 1-on-1 online tutoring and college counseling to low-income students. It connects students with UPchieve-certified tutors for personalized help across multiple subjects, aiming to close the college enrollment gap and democratize access to academic support.
Students can 24/7 access 1:1 tutoring via chat, whiteboard, or document editor with optional voice chat. Sessions cover 15+ subjects including Math, Science, English, College Prep, SAT/ACT prep, and college applications. Tutors are UPchieve-certified volunteers, and the platform emphasizes free access for low-income students through nonprofit funding and volunteer participation.
