    Description

    Tutor Online and Make a Difference in a Student's Life!

    Northstar Tutoring’s mission is to help low-income and underserved K-12th grade students in the D.C. area reach their full potential by overcoming barriers to personal and academic success. By matching students with their own volunteer tutor/mentor we strive to provide the free academic support and personal attention that these students may not otherwise have.

    Some of our locations allow for virtual tutoring and we are looking for volunteers who want to help a student once a week. Volunteers will work with the same student for the duration of the school year - unless a change is requested - and pairs will work on completing the student’s homework as well as math and reading materials provided by Northstar Tutoring. Students range from Kindergarten to 12th grade and volunteers are encouraged to request a specific age range they are interested in being partnered with, as well as which subjects they are comfortable tutoring in. Tutoring sessions are flexible and can be scheduled at whatever day/time is convenient for the volunteer and student.

    Please note - if you are interested in volunteering in person you can find our days/times at www.northstartutoring.org or respond to this ad.

    A few additional facts:

    • We accept new students throughout the year so volunteers can sign up at any point and be matched with a new student. We usually ask that volunteers commit to the remainder of whatever school year they join in.
    • No previous teaching experience is required (the majority of our volunteers have never taught/tutored before).
    • Volunteers must be at least 18 years old to participate.

    If you are interested please respond to this ad or reach out to Diana Coreas at dcoreas@northstartutoring.org.
