Most mentors meet with their partners twice per week for tutoring and other academic help.
Once a month, pairs will schedule a weekend session for more social pursuits, such as a visit to a museum, an excursion to a local park, or a trip to the movies. Tutoring Plus oversees each match through bimonthly telephone interviews conducted with the mentor, student, and parent. During these interviews, progress is assessed, and it is determined whether the relationship needs more organizational support. The telephone interviews and Connect meetings are staggered, creating a monthly checkup system.
