Who We Are

A Community of Passionate Students

We are passionate about helping our peers excel in academics, careers, and life through one-on-one holistic mentorship, peer tutoring, and a supportive community.

What We Do

What Sets Us Apart

More Than Tutoring

We go beyond traditional tutoring by using a mentorship approach. Our peer mentors don't just provide subject-specific tutoring but also serve as guides and friends, guiding students throughout their high school, college application, career, and life journey.

Peer Expertise

We believe that students can learn best from their peers. Each of our peer mentors once struggled with immense challenges before overcoming them to excel in their studies and beyond the classroom. Thus, they understand firsthand the challenges students face and are dedicated to sharing their knowledge and experience to help students reach their goals.

An Empowering Community

At SchoolWay Mentors, students join a community where students empower students, allowing them to build lasting friendships and connections. Our Discord makes it easy for students to chat with their peers and get quick, friendly homework, studying, or college application help. Plus, we host plenty of exciting events, from Minecraft to online board games to D&D, to take off some of the stress of school!

Affordability

We believe that education should be accessible to all. Therefore, our community will always be open to all, and we give back by providing free lessons on navigating high school and college applications. Additionally, our revenue solely goes to compensating our peer mentors and helping continue our mission.

Our Learning Blueprint

We believe that success isn't just about grades or accolades; it's about equipping you with the skills, motivation, and resilience needed to thrive in life.

Step 1: Goal Setting for Lifelong Success

We believe that intrinsic motivation is the key to sustained success and happiness, so it is our mission to help students unlock their full potential and a lifelong passion for learning. Students are matched with a dedicated mentor who will work with them to create personalized plans that cater to their unique aspirations and values, guiding them toward achieving their academic, career, and life goals.

Step 2: Tailored Tutoring and Guidance

With one-on-one tutoring, mentors will help students understand the material and boost their confidence, whether it be in an academic subject, standardized test, or competition while guiding them to build a standout college application that sets them apart from the competition. With access to rapid help for school subjects and college applications, study groups with other students, and helpful guides, students have access to resources to help them succeed.

Step 3: Continual Learning

Our mentors will continuously monitor the progress of students, adjusting strategies and celebrating achievements along the way, and stay updated with the latest educational trends and resources to employ the most effective learning tools and strategies.
