Aspire Education Project was founded in 2005 in order to bring high-quality supplementary academic support to all students, including those who do not readily have access to private tutoring. We provide academic tutoring and standardized test preparation (ACT, SAT, AP, and others) to students in their homes, and in partnership with other organizations at after-school centers. What does this mean for your child? We provide better service than our for-profit competitors and provide free or low-cost tutoring to those in need. History Established in 2005. Aspire Education Project grew out of founding director Matthew Hulse’s private tutoring business. After many years teaching in public schools in Oakland and other East Bay cities and an equal amount of time working as a private tutor and test prep educator, Matthew wanted an organization that would bring the same level of quality and commitment to students at underperforming schools in economically disadvantaged areas that he and his tutors were providing elsewhere. Now, Aspire Education Project has a pool of over 30 trained educators that serve hundreds of students both in their homes and at after-school centers. Students whose families can not afford market rates receive reduced price tutoring and Aspire Education Project collaborates with partner organizations to provide test preparation classes. Every last student receives the very highest quality academic support.
