We think the best person to help you through a tough class is someone who just took it.

IPTA pairs 9–12 students with high school tutors who recently mastered the same material. Peer tutors remember the confusion, the missed steps, and the moment things clicked, and they meet students exactly where they are, online.

We're a student-run nonprofit across Illinois. Every session is free. No one gets turned away because of where they live or what they can pay.
