The Buckley High School students setting up free online tutoring programs
While many students wait to hear what fall will look like, the recent emphasis on distance learning has inspired several students to create virtual tutoring programs. Their aim: help bridge the learning gap between the classroom and the Zoom. Here’s a look at what some of them have set up.
“I wanted to do something productive with my time,” says Emme Shaffer, a high school senior at the Buckley School. Emme started a free, online program called Tutor Together.
The one hour, one-on-one zoom sessions are geared towards students in kindergarten through eighth grade. “I don’t think I’m any more deserving of academic success than anybody that doesn’t have the resources that I do,” says Emme.
Tutor Together has 15 tutors volunteering their time to teach students throughout the week.
