The well-being of our Tutor Fellows is a high priority for our organization. In order to maximize the time we have with each Tutor Fellow, Elevate Tutoring provides career assistance, academic support, mental health services, and additional resources to those who need it. We encourage all Tutor Fellows to take advantage of these resources both during and after their time in our program.
