The platform
One place to coordinate your family’s academic support.
Office Hours gives employees' families one account for tutoring, college planning, and workshops: a clear way to ask for help, and a record of what happens next.
How it works for families
Describe what the student needs
A parent or student describes the need (a subject, an essay, a deadline, a college decision) in plain language, in one place rather than across email, texts, and intake forms.
Hear back in writing
An Office Hours tutor, counselor, or coach picks up the request, reads the family's history with us, and replies in writing with next steps.
Schedule a session when one is needed
The family proposes a time in their account, and the tutor or counselor confirms it or suggests another.
Keep the work in one place
Sessions, submitted essays, the college list, and deadlines stay in the family's account. Nothing disappears into an inbox.
What families have in one place
- One request, one place
- Families never need to know who handles what. They describe the need once, and Office Hours takes it from there.
- Context that carries over
- Whoever picks up a request can see the family's prior requests and submitted work, so the family does not start from zero each time.
- Written updates
- Replies and next steps are written down in the family's account, so there are no status calls and nothing to chase.
- College list and essays
- Students build a college list with their counselor and submit essays for feedback. Submitted essays stay in the family's account.
- Deadline checklist
- Families receive a deadline checklist based on the student's graduation year and can track each item's status.
- Employer reporting
- Employers receive aggregate figures: enrollment, participation, on-demand workshop views, deadline-checklist progress, and total hours used from any funded allowance. No individual student or family data is included.

On AI
The platform uses automated analysis in one narrow place, and keeps a record of it.
A submitted essay or activity list can get an automated first read that points at specific passages. It is a starting point, not a verdict, and it does not write anything on a student’s behalf.
Every one of those reads is recorded, and a family can see that record in their own account. When the family wants a person to look at a draft, they send it to an Office Hours counselor.
Privacy
Employers sponsor access; they do not see inside it. Requests, sessions, essays, and student information stay between the family and Office Hours. Employers receive program-level reporting only. What employers see and don’t see
