In other service news, I am having to sadly give my Learn To Be tutoring slot to another tutor since I will be starting my LSAT classes next Tuesday. I have been currently tutoring Justin from California and he is just the brightest 6th grader ever! I'm going to miss him but I know Valeria will took good care of him in my absence.
"The Learn To Be Foundation is a nonprofit, 501(c)(3)
tax-exempt organization that operates solely on donations from
individuals, businesses, and foundations. It was organized exclusively
for educational purposes on the principle of using the World Wide Web as
a medium for people of all ages to grasp their educational potential.
The Foundation’s hope is to foster and cultivate free online tutoring services that are driven by a community of users dedicated to teaching and mentoring those in need.
The
backbone of the Foundation’s website includes tutoring sessions that
occur online with the tutor and the student communicating via audio and a
virtual whiteboard to create a seamless transition from one-on-one
in-person tutoring to one-on-one online tutoring. Today, there are over
one hundred Learn To Be Certified Tutors helping students across the
country.
Learn To Be works with schools and organizations to provide tutoring to students in Grades K-8 in the following subjects:
- Math
- Science
- Language Arts
The Foundation also operates student organizations at universities and colleges to further its mission of providing free online tutoring and academic resources to underserved communities. The
primary goal of these student organizations is to recruit and foster a
college student-based tutor community and to explore and establish
partnerships with underserved schools and organizations in the
surrounding campus community."
