One-on-One Math Tutor

#416, 9707 110 Street NW, Edmonton, AB, T5K 2L9 [map]
1-3 hours / weekly
ongoing/year long term
Did you know, math is the primary academic reason why students drop out of school? There are many reasons why one might not further their education, but math is one of the most challenging academic barriers for learners to overcome outside of extenuating circumstances.

This where we can use your help! 
You don't need to be an expert, you just need to know the basics to pass on these skills to people who really want to learn them. Mentor adult learners in math-related concepts and help them build confidence in pursuing their goals. From basic arithmetic skills like addition and subtraction to helping learners with trades-related concepts like measurements and fractions—every exercise helps them gain the knowledge and skills needed for daily life, employment, and further training.
 
If you are interested in supporting adult learners in developing their mathematic abilities and live in the Edmonton area, we would love to hear from you!

Project Adult Literacy Society (PALS) is looking for adult volunteers who are willing to tutor one-on-one for 2 hours a week for up to one year (or until the student reaches their goal). Tutoring can be in-person at the PALS office, library, or via Zoom! Times and days are based on your schedule, but current demand is for weekends and evenings. Training, materials and continuous support are provided at every step.
