121Reach for Middle School
Who is 121Reach For?
121Reach is open to all middle school students, whether you need a lot of help or just a little bit of advice! Our tutors span a diverse range of subjects, from AP Spanish to Georgia Tech’s Calculus II. We also help with study skills such as organization, note-taking, etc. Because 121Reach has a one-to-one, long-term tutoring structure, we allow for focused tutoring tailored to each tutee’s needs. Just ask and we’ll help!
How 121Reach Works
The 121Reach staff matches tutors and tutees based on subjects the tutees need help on and subjects tutors can help with. Additional input such as common interests and special requests are also considered. Tutors and tutees will go through a 2 week trial at the beginning of the school year, and if the pairing works out, Tutors and tutees will remain together permanently.
New tutors and tutees are welcome all throughout the school year, not just at the beginning! We open our doors to everyone who needs help and who wants to help! New tutors and tutees will also go through the trial week from the time they join, and then will be paired with someone permanently.

During a Session…
121Reach holds tutoring sessions after school twice a week at your middle school (click here for times and locations). Tutee and tutor pairs will find each other and find a place to start working. Each Pair will proceed according to the tutee’s needs. Both tutees and tutors are advised to bring materials they need to work on. (ie: tutees should bring their science books if they need help on science, and tutors can bring helpful resources)
Tutor Treats
Tutor Treats is a special tradition of 121Reach. During the first Thursday of every month, tutors and tutees exchange treats–usually a salty or sweet snack and a drink. Sometimes tutors and tutees even include a little gift or note! If a tutor or tutee is absent on a Tutor Treats Day, we ask that the pair exchange treats the tutee the session before or the session after. Tutor Treats is a great way to bond and to get know each other better.
Events
121Reach has fun monthly events where tutors and tutees get a chance to bond outside of doing school work! These events could be anything from dodgeball after school to a celebration of Pi Day! Whatever it may be, tutors and tutees alike have tons of fun getting to know each other. Events are either after school (non-tutoring days) or during the weekend. If you have a suggestion for an event, please feel free to contact us!
