Tutoring Network

Tutoring Network

We launched the Tutoring Network in 2020, with the Support of Frontier College. The mission of the Tutoring Network is to connect CanU participants with tutors to receive individualised academic assistance and mentorship to help them thrive in any academic setting. The Tutoring Network offers a welcoming environment to CanU participants of all ages, learning levels, and styles. With support and training from Frontier College, we train our tutors to be proficient and enthusiastic teachers with the skills and knowledge to support CanU participants. Frontier College is a national charitable literacy organisation established in 1899. They believe literacy is a right, and we operate under the guiding principle that every place is a learning place. Their mission is to provide literacy support to programs like CanU, that provide opportunities and environments for their students to grow and learn, at any pace.

Are you free to commit your time at least once a week up to 3 months?

We are looking to connect volunteers with CanU participants that need support in school! Our tutors help CanU participants of all ages and stages—from grade 5 through 12. Our tutors provide empowering, encouraging support to help students complete their assignments, improve their grades, and persist in their studies. Our online tutoring platform makes connecting with CanU participants simple and convenient. This flexible volunteering opportunity will be organized to meet your needs, interests, and schedule.

Learner

Does your child (CanU participant) need extra support in their studies and classes? Are you seeking:
  • Accessible and online tutoring
  • Individualized sessions that reflect the child’s needs
  • Tutor-Mentorship and Ongoing Support
We pair volunteer tutors up with CanU participants to provide them with guidance and support needed to navigate their school year with confidence and ease. These personally tailored sessions from trained and screened tutors are offered in either a one-on-one or group setting, and are individualized to the participants’ needs and schedule.  We are proud to offer services to all CanU participants, between grades 5-12, in all subjects!

Please note:  Tutoring can be arranged for in-person or virtual sessions, depending on what is available.
