Governor Murphy’s Budget Includes $1MM in Funding for the NJ Tutoring Corps!
Changing lives, one scholar at a time.
The New Jersey Tutoring Corps Inc partners with school districts and community organizations like Boys and Girls Clubs and YMCAs to offer high-dosage tutoring to scholars in grades K-8, both during the summer and the school year. We are a statewide tutoring program with services provided throughout New Jersey.
Founded by the New Jersey Pandemic Relief Fund, First Lady Tammy Murphy, and the Overdeck Family Foundation, our program helps scholars to mitigate academic gaps, strong social/emotional skills, and a genuine love of learning.
Our scholars tell us that tutoring was their favorite part of their day. When scholars are energized by personalized attention, and learning is made fun, scholars are eager to participate in learning.

"The most rewarding part is seeing my scholars faces light up when they get a problem right and having them grow more confident throughout the learning process. As a teacher for seven years, I have witnessed the unfortunate learning gap (or loss) for many as a byproduct of COVID. This program is so essential in helping bridge that gap and provide quality education, social and emotional learning and peer to peer interaction between kids which is so important at a young age."
