Online Tutoring & Reading
Description
WHAT DO OUR VOLUNTEERS DO?
Frontier College Ottawa’s Homework Club program provides homework help to children and youth all over Canada. Due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, our Homework Clubs are continuing to be held online for the remainder of summer 2022, with a few library programs returning in person in the fall. Please be prepared for the likelihood of transitioning from online to in person. Although, volunteers can choose to remain online if they wish.
Frontier College Ottawa is currently looking for tutors to help children and youth grades 1 to 6 (ages 6 to 12) with their homework as well as their reading and writing skills.
Volunteering with the Homework Club Program is an excellent way to gain experience in early childhood education or literacy tutoring! It is also an ideal environment to contribute meaningfully to your community. We require no prior teaching experience and provide you with all of the training and materials you need. Just bring your communication skills, patience, enthusiasm and love of learning!
WHERE AND WHEN DO OUR ACTIVITIES TAKE PLACE?
Tutoring sessions occur once a week via Zoom video conference call and last approximately one hour each. Sessions are scheduled based on tutors’ and learners’ availability. When our programs start to return back in person, sessions will be held at partnering public libraries in Ottawa. More details on the library program will soon follow.
