Programs: -Collaborative Education Programming and Support. Aspire has partnered with dozens of Bay Area organizations to design custom programs that empower students to reach greater results in college entrance exams or increase confidence and achievement levels in subjects in which they’ve struggled. While many of our programs typically deal with the SAT, ACT, or high school entrance exams, our specialists provide academic support in all subjects. -One-on-One Tutoring. Through a team of tutors stocked with content expertise and emotional intelligence, Aspire provides high-quality academic assistance with individual students and families on a sliding scale fee basis. Aspire’s approach to tutoring as educational mentorship not only leads to greater confidence and improved grades, but also empowers our students to be better prepared for the next phase of their educational careers. -Community Reading Buddies. Community Reading Buddies mobilizes Bay Area young adults to mentor younger students in literacy and ignite them with a passion for reading. In turn, the young adults are trained in social-emotional skills that prepare them to become successful, independent community members.
