What We Do
Above and Beyond Tutoring is dedicated to fostering equitable tutoring opportunities for at-risk students in Charlotte and its surrounding areas. Our mission is to bridge the gap by providing accessible, one-on-one tutoring services to students who may not have otherwise had access to such support. Through our program, we aim to empower these students on their academic journey and help them unlock their full potential.
