Caring Tutors Build Game-Changing Confidence
Through Undivided Attention
Ignite Reading tutors build a powerful bond with students, giving them an adult role model who believes in them, boosts their confidence, and motivates them to do hard work.
Through Accountability for Learning
Unlike group or software-based lessons where kids can tune out, our reading tutors keep students engaged and won't let them give up.
Through Celebration
Tutors make reading fun, giving students recognition and celebrating their progress with colorful confetti and fireworks. Students look forward to their sessions and feel proud of the things they accomplish.
“We saw our students' confidence levels grow along with their ability to take risks, knowing that they had a safe place to do that.”

Principal, Western Hills Elementary School

“One of the greatest things Ignite Reading has to offer is that the diversity of their tutors reflects the diversity of our students. Our students see themselves in their tutors, and there is engagement and relationship building that I didn't think was possible over the virtual platform.”
