Programs and results
What we aim to solve
In an educational system where the average number of students in a classroom is 23, the pace of the curriculum set by school districts is hardly perfect for every student. Often, students require personalized, one-on-one attention, which is hard to provide in a large classroom. There are also numerous other factors that affect a student’s ability to learn; from motivation to intellectual ability, these discrepancies challenge how students learn. Moreover, a plethora of education barriers that arise from one’s socioeconomic situation, whether it is due to a lack of finances or opportunities available. Furthermore, the outbreak of COVID-19 has forced many schools online, resulting in an even bigger gap between those who can and cannot afford basic educational services, such as tutoring. More than ever, resources are needed to educate students who do not have access to reliable and free educational help and instruction, but still have every right to an opportunity-rich education.

Charting impact
Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.
What is the organization aiming to accomplish?
Teens Tutor Teens hopes to even their student: teacher ratio from 1:2 to 1:1.
We want to apply for non-profit awards, maintain a google business, as well as improve our accreditation in order to increase sign-up from students.
We want to also operate on all fronts this year an instagram and the linkedin account. We want 1,000 followers combined from these fronts.
We also want to have 5+ chapters across America.
We also want to recruit 75 tutors for this year and secure one International partnership.
What are the organization's key strategies for making this happen?
We have a robust executive board driving and making internal changes in the 501(c)3. We secured partnerships with Track It Forward to make volunteer hour counting easier, as well as hosted a diversity and inclusion workshop with Jane Elliott in order to work on internal management of tutoring from the tutor to the student. We have an executive ready to continue to push out the agenda of social media and exposure as we have done in 2021 by getting into Forbes and the Vanderbilt Hustler. We hope more exposure can reel in more students and tutors to achieve other goals the organization has.
What are the organization's capabilities for doing this?
Gabriela Nguena Jones, the company’s CEO & Founder, has established the connections necessary to complete this. In fact, the changes described above are already occurring.
What have they accomplished so far and what's next?
So far, TeensTutorTeens has received monetary and in-kind support from Walmart, Microsoft and Google, as well as received a partnership with many non-profits working at all 4 state chapters. In addition, TeensTutorTeens has provided over 4000 hours of free online instruction in a plethora of subjects, ranging from math and science to ACT/SAT prep.
Furthermore, our TeensTutorTeens is not only dedicated to providing free tutoring and service for middle school and high school students around the world, but also contributes to their home city of Atlanta. TeensTutorTeens has raised funds to purchase 50 socks and other toiletries for the homeless and their supporting organizations across Atlanta. In addition, with the COVID-19 pandemic, TeensTutorTeens and their team of volunteer tutors helped raise $200+ to donate to food banks in Atlanta and help with the epidemic.
