Funding is available to obtain in-person tutors for school students and adult learners. There are grant opportunities separately available for students and adult learners through Learning Aid Ohio, and Adult Literacy Ohio, respectively. Once approved, one can browse available tutors in your area with the expertise needed, and schedule interviews with those who seem like a good fit. After a successful match, one can use the grant to schedule tutoring sessions with the preferred tutor.
