Teen Learning Wizards was formed with the idea of providing a meaningful experience for elementary and middle school student mentees and high school mentors. Core subjects such as math, science, and language arts often pose a challenge for students as they can face many roadblocks while tackling challenging homework problems and assignments. Our goal is to help these children overcome these barriers and lead them to success.
To overcome the monetary aspect of hiring a tutor, which often deters many families from seeking additional guidance, we seek to provide free support to any student who can benefit from additional tutoring. TLW serves as a tutoring resource for students, and provides additional support to teachers.

"When I first joined Teen Learning Wizards, I knew that I was interested in education. Being a mentor has given me so much incredible experience in that area, and I always look forward to interacting with and teaching the adorable and smart mentees before each Learning Session. I know that the skills I've learned from my time in Teen Learning Wizards will be very invaluable to me in the future, whether I am teaching/working virtually or communicating in-person. In fact, the experience I gained gave me the confidence to step out of my comfort zone and apply for an internship that involved virtual tutoring, which I have completely fallen in love with. I would not be where I am today without Teen Learning Wizards."
