Uniting Students with Tutors for Educational Success

Education opens doors, broadens horizons and creates a pathway to success. But in these unprecedented times, as COVID-19 continues to create challenges, learning is tough. Get support to get your student back on track in school through Quad Cities Tutor Connection, an easy-to-access tutor connecting site for parents with students in grades K-12. Tutors are college students, experienced teachers and retired teachers with the experience and knowledge to assist with a range of coursework and learning modalities.

Tutoring may be conducted online or in person, depending upon the indicated preference of the tutor and family. Dates and times of sessions are to be scheduled directly between the tutors and interested families. A suggested fee of $15 per hour will be charged by tutors unless stated otherwise. Families should coordinate the payment plan and method directly with their tutors.

Financial assistance is available for students and families. Contact Alex Kolker to learn more.
