No experience is needed - just a desire to make a difference, and a love of children! We provide dynamic and interactive training, and full support. Small stipends are available.
We will adhere COVID-19 guidelines for in-person school tutoring and have virtual opportunities we developed over the past year in case in-person tutoring will not be possible.
