About
The Tutor Program focuses on one-on-one and small group support in reading, math, science, writing, and homework assistance. Students may work on math challenges, reading comprehension skills, class projects, workload management, organizational skills, and silent reading time. Tutors serve as academic helpers and sources of support and encouragement, and middle school tutors also serve as mentors who provide guidance, encouragement, and model responsibility while supporting students’ interests and personal growth.

MTC’s tutoring program provides individualized attention to students, with one-on-one tutoring typically in math or language arts.

Tutoring is provided either in person or online via Zoom or GoogleMeet during school hours, and Homework Clubs and elementary school tutoring take place on school campuses, with middle school tutors working with students during study hall or after school on school campuses. Tutors receive instruction and guidance from classroom teachers or administrators, as well as training and resources from MTC, and MTC staff are always available for additional feedback and advice.
All MTC tutors must have graduated high school, and MTC staff and volunteers undergo annual youth protection training conducted in compliance with the laws and guidelines set forth by the MVLA School District, the Los Altos School District, the Mountain View Whisman School District, the County of Santa Clara, and the State of California.

In partnership with local schools, MTC staff screen, train, place, and support volunteers, placing almost 200 volunteers who work directly with more than 450 students in schools each year.
