Employer-sponsored academic benefits
Tutoring and college support. One employee benefit.
Give employees’ families one place to request tutoring, plan for college, attend workshops, and keep academic support organized. Office Hours coordinates the program, while your benefits team receives aggregate engagement reporting.
Office Hours handles setup, family onboarding, specialist coordination, and ongoing delivery.
Your proposal will define the launch timeline and the information needed from your HR team. Employers who prefer to start smaller can begin with an optional 90-day pilot.
The problem
Academic support is fragmented, difficult to evaluate, and time-consuming to coordinate.
Families navigating academic support face a landscape of unconnected providers: a tutor here, a counselor there, essay feedback from someone else. There is no shared view and no one connecting the pieces, so the work of managing it all falls on working parents.
The coordination cost
Working parents act as unpaid project managers, tracking sessions, following up on deadlines, and chasing advisors who don’t communicate with each other.
The access gap
Well-coordinated academic support has historically been available only to families who can afford to hire and manage multiple expensive specialists. Employer-sponsored access changes who benefits.
How it works
One place for everything a student needs.
FamilyDescribes what the student needs
One request, in plain language, submitted to one place instead of spread across email threads, texts, and intake forms.
Office HoursFollows up in writing
An Office Hours tutor or counselor picks up the request, reads the family's history with us, and replies in writing with next steps.
FamilyKeeps everything in one place
Sessions, essay drafts, deadlines, and the college list stay organized in the family's account, so nothing disappears into an inbox.
What families can use
Tutoring and study skills
Subject help when a student is stuck, and coaching on how to study, plan, and keep up.
College admissions support
College-list planning, essay feedback, and an organized view of application deadlines.
College-planning workshops
Two live workshops each month on rotating admissions and financial-aid topics, open to enrolled families.
Workshops are included in the employer-sponsored benefit. If your plan funds one-to-one time, tutoring and counseling are covered up to that allowance.
Pricing
Quoted for your workforce, not off a rate card.
You fund platform access for eligible families, onboarding, request coordination, workshops, and whatever counselor capacity you choose to include. Families use what your plan covers at no cost to them.
Privacy and reporting
You sponsor the benefit. You don’t see inside it.
What a family asks for stays between that family and Office Hours. Your benefits team gets the program view.
- What employers see
- Aggregate program reporting: enrollment, participation, on-demand workshop views, deadline-checklist progress, and total hours used from any funded allowance. No individual employee, student, or request.
- What employers don’t see
- Families’ requests, student records, or any identifying information. Headcounts below the reporting threshold (five people by default) are withheld. Hours are reported as a program total and are not currently withheld below the threshold. In small programs, aggregate hours may allow an employer to infer an individual family’s participation.
