Roots of Knowledge Tutoring Services (ROKTS) is a culturally responsive reading tutoring service designed to serve students in underserved communities throughout Los Angeles County. Our mission is to close literacy gaps, strengthen academic confidence, and empower families by delivering high-quality, affordable, and culturally affirming reading instruction. ROKTS will provide small-group and one-on-one tutoring for students in grades K–2, with an initial focus on early literacy and reading intervention.

Roots of Knowledge Tutoring Services will operate through a hybrid model, offering in-person tutoring at community centers, churches, and libraries, as well as virtual tutoring options. Revenue will be generated through nonprofit partnerships, grants, and philanthropic support. Our long-term goal is to become a trusted community-based literacy provider across Los Angeles County.
