UPchieve offers a free, on-demand math tutoring platform to low-income students. UPchieve will increase access to free tutoring by building an integration that allows students using a large-scale math homework platform to speak to an UPchieve tutor when they get stuck. Linking the two platforms will 1) enable more students to discover our free services exactly when they need them, and 2) advance the field of learning engineering by creating an open data set of tutoring chat logs paired with homework problems that students got stuck on.
