Our mission is to encourage and benefit all students and their parents academically in creative and innovative ways, regardless of ethnicity, gender, or sexual orientation.
We support students and families who qualify as low-income, foster, adopted, at-risk or court-appointed children, such as grandparents raising grandchildren, and now those affected financially by COVID-19.

My Learning Studio OUTREACH (MLSO) was created by Lorna Jenkins when Riverside and surrounding areas were severely affected by the 2008 recession. Lorna's for-profit learning center, My Learning Studio was already established in the community and many people advocated for discounted tutoring due to job losses. Lorna could not turn away from the community in need, thus My Learning Studio OUTREACH was created.
MLSO provides private individualized tutoring to under-resourced students from Riverside and surrounding areas in all levels of mathematics, sciences, reading comprehension and writing. The private, individualized tutoring program gives economically challenged, foster, adopted and court-appointed students access to affordable, high-quality tutoring tailored to their needs.

Our instructors lead small groups and one on one tutoring to ensure the success of each student. Instructors focus on the student's homework and subject content being taught in their school course, which includes California's Common Core standards.
We begin with the basics to ensure that each student has a strong foundational understanding of the subject matter before moving on to more advanced concepts. This approach allows students to develop the confidence they need to succeed in their class assignments and tests.
Support Our Mission
Support from generous donors is critical to our Free and Discounted Programs, especially as we expand to address the challenges of COVID-19.
Explore Riverside Together (ERT) is a unique fundraising program for My Learning Studio OUTREACH, a 501(c)(3).
Our next event will be on Saturday, September 30, 2023!
Our goal is to promote the city of Riverside and raise awareness for our FREE and/or discounted tutoring programs that support low-income, foster, adopted, at-risk, and court-appointed children, such as grandparents raising grandchildren. Our focus is to bring Riverside residents together through events promoting "All things Riverside."
