The Summer Stars program consists of 2 on 1 tutoring. We will do our best to group students with others in the same or similar grade.

Attendance at each tutoring appointment is mandatory. Tutoring services will be provided 3 days each week, Tuesday – Thursday during the selected 4-week session (11 total appointments for the Reading session; 12 total appointments for the Math session).

We ask parents and caregivers to carefully consider other schedule obligations before submitting an online Interest Form and reserving a space in the program.

Parents and guardians are asked to walk their students to and from the tutoring area. Tutors and Library staff are not responsible for the supervision of students left unattended.

You are welcome to remain in the tutoring area or take advantage of the variety of materials and resources available at the Library like books, magazines, computers, and more!

Due to the short nature of the program, students will be required to attend all appointments to maximize the benefits of this free tutoring service. Students who miss any appointments will be removed from services and another student placed in their spot.

We ask parents and caregivers to carefully consider other schedule obligations before submitting an online Interest Form and reserving a space in the program.

Summer Stars tutoring welcomes students of all abilities who have completed any grade from 1-6 during the 2024-25 school year. Our program is designed to provide sustained tutoring in a fun, engaged, and supportive learning environment through regular instruction and learning activities.

Summer Stars is not an intervention program nor can tutors provide recommendations or diagnose any concerns you may have with your student’s academic progress or behaviors. Additional information about Special Education Services at different school districts can be found on the Los Angeles County Office of Education’s website.

Summer Stars tutoring instruction and materials are only delivered in English.

LA County has contracted with the tutoring company StudentNest to provide professional tutoring services. They have provided tutoring throughout the United States for more than 20 years.

Tutors will complete assessments with each student during the first and last appointments to measure the impact of the program. Tutors will use the information they receive from the initial assessment to inform your student’s tutoring appointments.

LA County Library is not in a formal partnership with any school for Summer Stars tutoring and we do not have access to any academic information.

No. Summer Stars tutors are not able to provide homework assistance for any subject.

Online homework help is available to LA County Library cardholders via Brainfuse. Online tutors are available to assist with math, science, reading/writing, social studies, test prep (PSAT/SAT, ACT, AP, and standardized), and more!
