Meeting The Need

Date: Thursday, April 16, 2026 Location: 65 Franklin St Time: 5:30 - 7:30 PM

Tutoring Plus invites you to our annual celebration on Thursday, April 16th!

Why 'Meeting The Need'?

For more than 60 years, Tutoring Plus has existed to meet the needs of Cambridge students when and where they arise.

Tutoring Plus was founded with a simple but powerful belief that individualized academic support, mentorship, and enrichment can help close opportunity gaps and expand what’s possible for students.

Tutoring Plus has always been powered by communities that want to champion young learners in Cambridge. A group of moms in the Port neighborhood of Cambridge, seeking better futures for their children, partnered with MIT to create this organization. That approach continues to guide us today.
  • We remain a strong presence in the Port neighborhood
  • Ten years ago, we launched tutoring at the Rindge Towers in North Cambridge
  • This year, we created flexible drop-in tutoring options
  • We partner with incredible community-based organizations to provide academic support and wraparound services
Low-income and immigrant families, and communities of color, continue to face systemic barriers that shape educational outcomes in profound ways. There are complex, evolving needs that students and families continue to navigate.

  • Rising chronic absenteeism in Cambridge Public Schools
  • Persistent racial disparities in math and ELA outcomes
  • Knowing how to support children’s academic journeys
  • Continued inequities impacting low-income and immigrant families as well as communities of color
While Tutoring Plus cannot meet every need or undo these systems alone, we can – and do – play a meaningful part. We believe deeply in showing up where we can with consistency, care, and community.


Meeting The Need has never been about doing everything. It’s about listening, responding, and standing alongside students and families when support matters most.

By investing in our students, you are part of this work. You empower our community, a community with a rich history of showing up, adapting, and meeting the need together.
