Study Zone Plus is a place for students to:

• Get homework help from volunteer tutors.
• Find additional academic support.
• Recharge in social spaces with other students.

Tutors work with 1-5 students in a group setting. We cannot guarantee intensive, private one-on-one tutoring.

Beginning in November, Study Zone Plus will include additional services such as:

• Tech Tutors (tech and software support).
• Recharge Rooms (elementary). Activities for short breaks to boost energy and get wiggles out or lower stress and calm down.
• Study Space (teens). A relaxed social space for teens to study and do homework together.
• Teen Talk Time (ESL/ELL conversation practice).
• Reading Buddies (elementary reading support).

Some students have asked for tutors who reflect their identity. For example, tutors who are Black, Indigenous or people of color (BIPOC).
