Tutorpedia is a state-approved Supplemental Educational Service (SES) provider. From 2007-2011, it provided more than 5,500 hours of one-on-one tutoring to more than 300 Bay Area students through SES. These services are funded through a range of supports and are free to students and their families. Tutorpedia Foundation, a nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization, provides additional free tutoring for low-income students. Programs currently run at East Palo Alto Academy (in collaboration with Stanford New Schools), Sequoia High School (in collaboration with BUILD), and College Track.
