About

Momentum Tutoring in Santee is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) academic mentoring organization founded in 2007 that serves over 150 students year-round from its Cuyamaca Street headquarters. The organization partners with the Carlton Oaks PTA to run an on-campus tutoring program at Carlton Oaks School, supplementing its central-location model with embedded school-site sessions in reading, writing, math, and science for grades K through 12. A pay-what-you-can scholarship structure keeps enrollment accessible across income levels, and custom curriculum plans address individual skill gaps identified during intake assessments. Beyond academics, the Youth Biz Club entrepreneurship program teaches business-plan development and culminates in the annual Santee Children's Business Fair, where student vendors operate real sales booths. Families coordinating after-school schedules across tutoring and childcare combine Momentum's Cuyamaca Street sessions with nearby providers such as Santee KinderCare on the same corridor for younger siblings. The on-campus program deploys one-on-one homework assistance and skills-gap remediation using a diagnostic intake that benchmarks each student's Lexile reading level and math-fluency rate against California state standards.
