At Phoenix Tutoring, we strive to allow K-12 students in the greater Chicago area to achieve their full academic potential. We recognize that education extends beyond the classroom. Thus, we are committed to providing free, quality tutoring services that enhance the traditional learning found in the classroom. Our team of UChicago student tutors collaborate with K-12 students to deliver personalized support, guidance, and mentorship.
As we recognize the uniqueness of each student, tutoring sessions are tailored to address their specific needs— be it clarifying challenging concepts, reviewing coursework, honing effective study techniques, or fostering confidence in their academic abilities. To ensure that we are able to accomodate our students and tutors schedules, we offer both virtual and in-person tutoring options.
We are not only dedicated to bridging educational gaps but also cultivate a nurturing environment for our students. We manage all communication with parents, allowing our tutors and students to focus exclusively on their weekly tutoring sessions. Our ultimate objective is to ensure that dependable and accessible tutoring is available to the greater Chicago community, allowing every student to have the opportunity to excel academically.

Phonz the Phoenix is our organization's mascot. His name is derived from the German word "phonz", which roughly translates to "ready for battle" in English. Like our students, he is determined and tenacious when it comes to his education. Similar to a Phoenix rising from its ashes, we encourage our students to battle through tough problems and to quickly build back their confidence when they fail just as much as we celebrate their success!
