What they do

Graduate students tutor students one on one, online, in subjects such as math, science, English, social studies and world languages. Families start with a participation form that parents and students both sign, and tutors apply through an interest form on the site. The team also offers college prep help, such as AP courses, SAT and ACT prep, Common App help, and financial aid.

Your first visit

Feeling unsure the first time is normal. Most groups are glad when someone new walks in.

First step: Families: use the I need a tutor option on risephiladelphia.com to start the participation form, which parents and students both sign..

Check with the group before you show up. You need to sign up first.

What to expect

After you sign the participation form, the team tries to match your student with a graduate tutor and contacts you up to three times to do it. Sessions are one on one and online, and the team picks tutors with each student's needs and academic background in mind. The pages do not say how long a session lasts, how often it happens, or what it costs.

Tips for your first visit

  • Have your student's grade and the subjects you need ready, since the site covers kindergarten through 12th grade.
  • Watch the email address you give, because the team reaches out to arrange the match.
  • For college help, pick a specific area from the list, such as AP courses, SAT or ACT, or financial aid.
  • Ask about session length and cost before you commit, since the pages do not state them.

Newcomer welcome

Fine for newcomers, but you may need to speak up (3 out of 5). Why we say this: Families and tutors each have a public sign-up route, and the site says the team will reach out up to three times to make a match, but the pages do not describe screening, session details or cost..
