Free tutoring for NYC kids, from students who were just in their seat.

Tutors on Track pairs students in grades 3–8 with Brooklyn Tech high schoolers for one-on-one help. No fees, no catch — just a kid who remembers how hard the class was.

Online only, over Google Meet — never in person. A parent is part of every sign-up.

Why we started this

A note from our founder

Hi, I'm Kaitlyn, a senior at Brooklyn Tech. When I was studying for the SHSAT, a lot of my friends' families paid for tutors, and I know plenty of kids whose families can't. We started Tutors on Track because the stuff that helped us — someone patient, a little older, who explains things the way a classmate would — shouldn't cost anything.

We're not a company. We're a group of friends who like teaching and have the time. If that sounds like something your kid could use, sign up and we'll be in touch.

— Kaitlyn, founder

How it works

Three stops.

  1. Sign up

    A parent fills out the short form below: grade, subject, and when you're free.

  2. Get matched

    We pair your student with a tutor who's strong in that subject and emails you both to set a time.

  3. Meet online weekly

    Sessions are 30 minutes on Google Meet — online only — usually once or twice a week, for as long as it's helping.

What we help with

We teach what we're good at — mostly the classes and tests we took ourselves in the last couple of years. Don't see your subject? Ask anyway.

Sign up

Takes about two minutes. We'll reply by email.

  • A parent or guardian fills this out — we won't match a student without one.
  • Space is limited. We match students as tutors become available, and we'll let you know either way.
  • Everything is free. We'll never ask for payment.

We only use this to match and contact you. We don't share it.

Questions parents ask

Is it really free?

Yes. No fees, no trial period, no upsell. The tutors volunteer their time.

Who are the tutors?

Current Brooklyn Tech students who did well in the subject they teach.

Is it online or in person?

Online only. Every session is on Google Meet from the tutor's and student's own homes — we never meet in person. A parent is welcome to sit in on any session.

How are students and tutors kept safe?

A parent signs up every student and is copied on scheduling emails. Sessions happen on Google Meet only — no private messaging apps, no texting. Tutors go by first name only; we never share a tutor's last name, address, or personal contact details, and we never ask for a student's. Tutors and students never meet in person through this program.

Can my kid get help with a subject not listed?

Ask in the form. If one of us can help, we will; if not, we'll let you know.

Can I volunteer as a tutor?

If you're in high school and strong in a subject, choose "applying to tutor" on the form.
