At Step Up Tutoring, our mission is deeply rooted in a set of shared core values that guide everything we do. These values shape the way we work with students, collaborate with one another, and continuously improve as an organization. Whether you're a new tutor or a seasoned volunteer, reflecting on these values can help enrich your tutoring experience and amplify your impact.
Values That Guide Our Work
Believe in Student Potential
We believe that every child has unlimited potential. Our role as tutors is to unlock opportunities and help close educational gaps, ensuring all students have access to the tools and support they need to succeed.
Honor Relationships
Strong relationships are the foundation of learning. By building genuine connections with students and their families, tutors help foster a safe, supportive, and trusting environment that promotes growth.
Always Learning, Always Growing
We are passionate about lifelong learning. We value feedback, stay open to new strategies, and adapt quickly to meet our students’ needs. Every session is a chance to grow—for our students and for ourselves.
Step Up to the Challenge
The work we do is not always easy—but it is always meaningful. We take bold action, embrace challenges, and innovate to create lasting impact for the students we serve.
Better Together
Collaboration is essential. We support one another, share ideas, and respect diverse perspectives. Together, we are stronger—and together, we can achieve more.
Values in Practice
As a Step Up tutor, we invite you to bring these values to life during every tutoring session:
Encourage your student and help them believe in their potential.
Be a consistent, positive presence they can count on.
Embrace feedback from your Tutor Experience Manager and apply it.
Be flexible and proactive in the face of challenges.

Connect with fellow tutors to share ideas, celebrate wins, and troubleshoot together.
