The UC Supplemental Educational Services (SES) program strengthens academic achievement and provides enrichment for eligible Cincinnati Public school students through individualized, targeted academic interventions.

These services provide students with extra help in the academic subjects of reading, language arts, and mathematics. The tutoring services are to be delivered outside the regular school day, before or after school, and/or on weekends.
