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.

 

Why We Do It

  • In 2019, black fourth-graders' average math scores were about 21 points below their white peers in South Carolina on the Nation's Report Card
    • Source: National Assessment of Educational Progress
  • Students of color are often concentrated in schools with fewer resources. Schools with 90 percent or more students of color spend $733 less per student per year than schools with 90 percent or more white students.
  • Children of affluent families on average fared better than lower-income students during the Covid-19 pandemic due their access to private tutors and learning pods. Meanwhile, lower-income students were more likely to learn virtually with no parental supervision
Interesting Info
  • Over 100 students in the last 5 years.
  • The struggle to achieve success in mathematics stands especially true for economically disadvantaged students, who are often minorities such as African-American
  • To create personalized math tutoring affordable for underserved students and communities.
