Willing tutors already sit in every classroom. What schools lack is the machinery: matching, booking, parent consent, safe payments to student tutors, and proof it works. StudentGigs handles all of it, so your program runs itself.
Pay as you go. Unused funds stay with your school.
Willing tutors already sit in every classroom. What's missing is coordination, safe payments to minors, and proof it's working. StudentGigs was designed for school peer tutoring from the ground up and runs the entire process, matching, booking, consent, payments, and tracking, seamlessly in one system.
A peer who aced the exact class: same teacher, right grade, compatible schedule. Students pick from a short list, not a directory.
Booked in the app for 7th period or after school. Text reminders get students to actually show up.
Bilingual peers explain chemistry in Spanish, reaching underserved students and supporting WASC equity goals.
The school is invoiced; funds route through the tutor's parent with consent and a full audit trail. Service hours are an option too.
Teachers attach a note or materials to a session: "here's what to work on." Targeted help, not generic tutoring.
Every session logged: attendance, hours, topics. Visible to teachers, parents, and administrators, with grade movement reviewed each grading period.
Most schools already believe in peer tutoring. The paper-and-drop-in process is what fails.
Hand a teenager a PDF and the program stalls. Put it on their phone and it runs.
