High school kids almost always need a little help with math and science. But refugee kids need even more help. Coming from a different educational backgrounds, they may not have studied the foundations of math and science. They may have not had a chance to develop knowledge and the skills they'll need to succeed in their new American classroom.
But more than that, newly arrived students are trying to learn new material in a new language. Regardless of how talented or how much aptitude a student may possess, it's very challenging.
We're looking for tutors who can help high schoolers with:
- Algebra
- Geometry
- Chemistry
- Biology
First time considering tutoring? No problem. Our volunteers are helpers like yourself who may not have any formal teaching experience. However, if you've ever helped a child with their homework, then you can tutor!
Learn how! Before your'e paired, you'll shadow an experience volunteer tutor until you're ready to begin with your first student.
The hours that you spend working with a young student could make the difference between completing high school or dropping out! Your gift of time and teaching will build a young person's confidence and ability to understand assignments, plus give them another valuable opportunity to expand their English language skills.
If you have time one or two evenings a week to tutor high school or middle school math or science, we'd like to pair you with a student from Afghanistan or Ukraine who needs your help and understanding. AmeriCorps members looking for MLK day volunteer opportunities are welcome to inquire.
