Join. Tutor. Serve.

The City Tutors prepares students for life after college by using volunteer tutoring
​as a vehicle to tackle the low retention and graduation rates at schools.

ABOUT
The City Tutors is proud to be the tutoring arm of City College's Colin Powell School for Civic and Global Leadership. 

The school offers a wide variety of traditional and interdisciplinary undergraduate and graduate degrees and houses the Ph.D. program in Clinical Psychology offered by the CUNY Graduate Center. The school also builds upon an exceptionally strong tradition at CCNY; nearly a third of all CCNY degrees are awarded in the social sciences.

MISSION
The City Tutors (CT) was founded in 2013 by students and faculty interested in directly tackling the low retention and graduation rates at schools and in preparing  students for life after college, using volunteer tutoring as a vehicle to accomplish both goals. ​
