RISE

The Rise Program is a low-cost afterschool math and science-focused tutoring program that serves public school students between grades 8 and 12. The tutoring takes place on the Caltech campus Monday-Thursday from 4:30pm-6pm. Students attend 2 days a week. Caltech undergraduate and graduate students serve as the academic tutors and mentors. The program is designed to help students gain greater competency in math foundations, improve skills in math and science, and prepare students for college-level math and science. The tutoring is set up one-on-one or in small groups (no more than 2 students per tutor). A typical session can range from homework help or studying for a class test to reviewing foundational skills. The program is offered on Caltech's campus, online, and at John Muir High School.
