Seeking volunteer math tutors to help students impacted by school closures

As a former tutor, I've seen first-hand the massive unfair advantage that high quality, 1-1 instruction can make in a child's education. At masteryhour.org, it's our mission to give this opportunity for mastery learning to every child. Currently we are urgently seeking more volunteer tutors to help K-12th grade children with math homework. We currently have over 700 students on our waiting list and it’s growing every day. If you’re able to donate an hour of time a week to help a child or can help with recruiting tutors, please email me at manisha@masteryhour.org The pandemic has severely exacerbated the educational gap between those who can afford high quality tutoring and those who can’t. Through our free tutoring program (and by providing extensive training and feedback to our tutors), we hope to close that gap, but we need your help. If you’re willing to donate an hour of time per week and are a kind, thoughtful grownup w. children or childcare/teaching experience who is willing to donate an hour of your time a week to help kids with math, please contact us. If you’re affiliated with a company who has employees that might be interested in donating an hour of time a week to help kids, we’d love to partner with you. Please reach out. If you are affiliated with a college, university or student organization, we’d love to partner with you and get your help with outreach. Please send us an email. If you're an educator or learning specialist who can donate a free training to tutors in teaching strategies including mastery learning, inquiry-based learning, anti-bias education or child-centered communication, we would love to speak to you. We are especially looking for tutors who can speak Spanish, so please let us know if this applies to you! Masteryhour.org is a non-profit project. Our fiscal sponsor is the Open Collective Foundation.
