Partnerships

In addition to providing 1-1 tutoring, we partner with a number of school districts and organizations to provide tutoring to students in need. If you are interested in forming a partnership, please contact us!

  • Chicago Heights School District aims to provide students with a clear, navigable pathway leading to rewarding careers in the mainstream economy. Whether students have college aspirations or a desire for a career in a skilled trade, Chicago Heights School District will lead them toward a brighter future.

  • Mountain Empire Unified School District is the Southeastern most school district in San Diego County, bordering the Mexican State of Baja California on the South and Imperial County on the East. The rural setting and the sparsely populated area requires extensive bussing of students; however, it also provides a healthy, cheerful surrounding, which strengthens educational opportunities.

  • Cumbre Humboldt is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to seeking and promoting educational and enriching opportunities for Latinx families and individuals throughout Humboldt County.

  • SIMBA and ASET help bridge the gap between those kids who have permanent housing and those students having experienced homelessness. For example, SIMBA and ASET help teens find college and career support without stigma.

  • Bridges2Science partnered with CovEd to provide free STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) tutoring and mentorship to students interested in exploring scientific fields.

  • We would like to thank the Harvard COOP and the "Coop Gives" program for their continued support of CovEd and our mission!

  • In addition to partnering with school districts, CovEd also works with professors to conduct research in virtual learning!

  • In addition to the organizations listed above, CovEd partners with a number of school districts to run “CovEd Labs” —our unique program to supplement traditional STEM education. Click here to learn more!

Hear from our mentors, mentees, and parents:

  • “I definitely felt like I was able to contribute in a small way during the pandemic. There were so many kids just like her that needed help one way or another, and it was a great program to be a part of. I also think it was super helpful for me to have that connection with someone I probably wouldn’t have met otherwise.”

    Meghna Iyer, Northeastern University (CovEd Mentor)

  • “My expectation at the start was just to tutor kids and focus on academics, but as I went on and tutored more and more kids, I felt that giving them life lessons outside of school is actually more important because those can impact how they do academically and also the future.”

    James Sameson, UC San Diego (CovEd Mentor)

  • “Learning how to work virtually and learning how to work with a student with autism has helped me a lot, since I am going into the teaching field. I could apply some of the strategies I developed with her to my future career. Things like figuring out what worked with her. She liked routine and she liked acting out the stories.”

    Emmy Macri, Rutgers University (CovEd Mentor)

  • “It was nice to get to know a person who has so much trust in you and is willing to learn from you. It pushed me to try to find new ways to teach and to articulate the lesson in multiple ways so that she could understand it better. It was this back and forth process that took a bit of time, but I definitely felt stronger by the end of it.”

    Zoe Adams, UC Berkeley (CovEd Mentor)

  • “CovEd helped build up my son's confidence in terms of articulating and explaining his work. They’ve helped him pass exams and helped him achieve Honor Roll for the last 3 years. He’s special needs but he graduated with Honors. CovEd had a lot to do with that. I counted on you guys because I’m not usually home. CovEd really fills a need for families.”

    Angela Ijeaku (CovEd Parent)

  • “My mentor has been in my corner since day one. She's helped me a lot when I applied to different programs. When I applied to a program in Boston, I actually got to meet her, and she got to visit me in the Bay Area. She's just like a big sister to me. I'm really grateful to CovEd and the things that you guys are doing. I hope to one day become a mentor and help the next generation of kids coming through."

    Mahi Jariwala (CovEd Mentee)
