BERKELEY, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Today, We Succeed announced it has entered an agreement with the University of California, Berkeley to offer virtual work-study employment opportunities to students. We Succeed is a virtual tutoring platform created to lessen the educational inequality gap by providing affordable tutoring services to K-12 students. The company employs high-achieving college students receiving financial aid to provide affordable tutoring to K-12 students, boosting the academic and long-term economic success for both.

“Our recent agreement with this nationally ranked university allows UC Berkeley students to garner work experience that will reduce college expenses, while making tutoring services more accessible to underserved K-12 and foster students. It’s a win-win situation," said Zahid Mustafa, founder and president of We Succeed. “Since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, virtual tutoring has been a lifeline for students of all ages. Many college students have realized they can help lessen the educational inequality gap by assisting younger students in need of learning support, and do so from the convenience of their home or dorm. We look forward to welcoming University of California, Berkeley students into our program.”

Over the past year, more than 97 percent of educators reported learning loss in their students. We Succeed, which launched in early 2021, seeks to provide a “win-win” approach and solution to tackling educational inequalities by paying college students with financial need a competitive wage while boosting success rates for underserved K-12 students, many of whom have suffered from pandemic learning loss.

The platform allows students to work a flexible schedule, with up to 20 hours per week each semester. Students may apply to tutor a range of subjects including: Math, Biology, Chemistry, English/Literacy, History/Social Studies, Physics, Earth Science, Spanish and support for college admissions applications.
