What we do

North Carolina Education Corps, an NSSA Tutoring Program Design Badge Awardee, trains and helps place high-impact tutors throughout North Carolina to provide the highest quality, in-person tutoring for your child.

In districts across the state, we are working with K-5 students to help them excel in reading, building their confidence in both school and life.
