ORGANIZATION: School on Wheels

Tutoring

While all students have been affected by the pandemic, unhoused students are disproportionately experiencing adverse educational outcomes. Become a volunteer tutor today and help students get back on track.

"If you are considering becoming a volunteer, do not hesitate! It is an unparalleled and invaluable experience for both you and your student. Becoming a volunteer gives you the chance to change a child’s life for the better, and to help them discover the wonder of learning and growing as a student. Although not every session will be easy and rewarding, the gradual process of aiding a student’s academic career is priceless." - Volunteer Tutor, Erika

We offer both online and in-person tutoring opportunities. Tutoring usually happens on weekdays between 3 pm-7 pm. We provide in-depth training and ongoing support to all our tutors.
