Summary
Founded in 2002, Beyond Basics is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit working to eradicate illiteracy, transforming the lives of students and creating stronger communities. Our one-on-one, multisensory tutoring program helps students achieve grade-level proficiency in reading in an average of six weeks. In addition to our structured literacy interventions, we cultivate curiosity and encourage a love of lifelong learning with fine arts activities that expand horizons.
Reading Tutors are trained to work one-on-one with students utilizing the Beyond Basics Tutoring Program curriculum. Tutors work with 3-5 students per day (1 hour session per student or group) each week during school hours to improve literacy, ensure the students complete the program successfully and are able to apply the concepts learned.
