Seeds of Success

Seeds of Success is a volunteer organization that arranges free tutoring for K-12 students in the community. Our tutors are current BYU students who take time away from their studies to offer this service. We are excited to tutor and hope to see you soon!

Let us know if you have any questions! We really do love to help and will do all we can to make tutoring a positive experience for you! Feel free to stop by and talk to us during our office hours listed on the right. You are always more than welcome to contact us anytime at the phone numbers to the right or at byusos@gmail.com.

What Parents Need to Know

To begin tutoring, we need you to do two things:

Fill out this " Parent Release Form ". You will need to print and sign it. We cannot accept electronic signatures. Feel free to bring this in by hand to our office or mail it to the address indicated. You may also scan it (take a picture of it) and email it back to us.

Complete this “ Student Registration Form ”. This contains the pertinent information that our tutors will receive. 

Once we receive both forms, we will be able to find a tutor for your child.

What BYU Students Need to Know

For the first step, we would like you to come meet with one of our Program Directors or Executive Director to receive a quick orientation (10-15 min) on how to get started as well as answer any questions you might have. You can come in during one of our office hours (listed at the right).

If those times don’t work for you, text Dallin Johnson at (208) 916-3145 with 2-3 times that would possibly work for you, and we will work around that.

In addition to meeting with a program director, these 3 things need to be completed before you begin tutoring:

1. Register as a volunteer by filling out a " Tutor Registration Form ".

2. You will need to fill out a BYU Background check before volunteering. Please follow this link and find the "Background Check Request form" to get started. 

3. Because you are working with children, you will also need to complete an online training in Child Protection through BYU’s Y-Train. Here is the link to complete that training module. It should only take 20 minutes or so to finish. Once you receive the certification, forward us (byusos@gmail.com) that email.

Here are a few training links to best help you feel prepared to begin tutoring.

We have compiled a playlist of youtube training videos that detail effective tutoring techniques.

This document further details the guidelines for being a Seeds of Success Tutor.

I never expected such an easy volunteering opportunity to end up being so rewarding. Now that I’ve started tutoring with Seeds of Success, I never want to stop!

We have felt so wonderfully blessed to have this program!! Our son, Daniel has been assisted in Physics and pre-calculus this year in his Senior year of High School.  Jordan has been amazing to help him, as have others who have stepped up and helped him on the spur of the moment (even though that isn't the program!).  We just moved here to Provo from Oregon where Daniel was raised, and we moved right before his senior year, so the change was quite drastic for him.  Your tutoring has been a way for him to feel more in charge of his life as he is doing so much better in these courses.
