Youth who are assessed to be functioning below the content standards of the California High School Exit Exam in English Language Arts (10th grade State standards) and Mathematics (8th grade State standards) are eligible to receive tutoring services. The Contractors utilize the Individualized Multilevel Tutoring Curriculum. Tutoring services are provided at the home of the Youth's caregiver or at a local community site such as a public library. Youth participation in tutoring is voluntary.

Free Tutoring Services:  Youth ages 14 or 15 in out of home placement and reside in Los Angeles County can be referred for an academic assessment. If the youth is assessed to be functioning below grade level, up to 50 hours of tutoring may be provided.
