And yet, for over 34 million underserved students throughout the nation, circumstances are depriving them of quality parental guidance, peer support, or the resources needed to thrive academically. That’s where Learn To Be comes in. Learn To Be is a non-profit bringing free, 1-on-1, online tutoring to underserved communities around the nation. We partner with schools and other non-profits to bring individualized education to K-12 students in STEM, reading, and writing. In particular, we work with homeless students and students receiving free or reduced price lunch at school. We've hosted over 100,000 hours of tutoring in a virtual classroom we developed. This virtual classroom is a lot like Skype or Google Hangouts, but more powerful. In addition to built-in audio/video capabilities, it has a whiteboard area where students and tutors can share ideas, upload documents, and make annotations. Moreover, each session is recorded and stored on our servers, providing students with hours of personalized content to recall. We’re not offering any quick fixes or grand solutions. Just a push towards an ideal: Individualized attention for every student who needs it.
