BranchOut's Tutoring Program
BranchOut! was founded in 2015 by Veritas Education Leaders to help close the education gap between students while promoting STEM education. BranchOut! has grown from twenty student mentors to over one hundred fifty student mentors year every. Throughout the years, BranchOut! has mentored students at community centers, high schools, and family shelters in the DMV area. The program is endorsed by those such as Virginia Senator Tim Kaine and Former FCPS Board Member at Large Ryan McElveen.
BranchOut! offers a variety of tutoring services and can help with various subjects, including math (Algebra I and beyond), computer science, biology, and chemistry. If you or your school/organization would like to receive support from BranchOut!, please contact us for more information.
