Overview
Toolkit Tutors runs in-person tutoring programs inside New York City public schools for elementary, middle and high school students. Most programs follow a high-impact tutoring model, in which the same tutor meets a small group of usually four or fewer students on a steady schedule tied to classroom lessons. Schools choose classroom push-in support, pull-out sessions during the day or after-school tutoring, covering early literacy and math through subjects tested on New York's Regents exams. Schools pay for the programs, while the company recruits tutors and manages onboarding, attendance, coaching and progress reporting. It was founded in 2024 and is based in New York City.
