Welcome to the WPTP

The West Philadelphia Tutoring Project offers Penn students an opportunity to enhance their college experience through participation in a meaningful and effective community service program. The WPTP partners with local West Philadelphia public schools providing students with individual attention through one-on-one tutoring and mentoring relationships with Penn students. 

Want to make a difference in West Philly schools? If so, we would love nothing more than to add YOU to our group of dedicated tutors! Although registration for this spring has ended, PLEASE e-mail us with questions about tutoring next fall--undergraduates as well as graduate students are more than welcome!

If you would like to apply to become a board member of the West Philadelphia Tutoring Project, please download the application here. E-mail your completed application to wptp@dolphin.upenn.edu.
