ICF Tutoring

Established in Fall 2017, the ICF Tutoring Program is a youth-led initiative created to provide an
affordable tutoring and college prep service that offers a safe, creative environment geared
towards local Bay Area youth.
We are currently running virtual sessions for English and Math for K-12 as well as our seasonal
college application review sessions. We provide both private 1:1 tutoring ($25/hr) and group
tutoring ($15/hr) sessions and plan to add more classes based on community need.

Our dedicated team of volunteers is committed and looks forward to providing an enriching
experience.
