Werklund K-12 Tutoring Program
Become a Tutor
The Werklund School of Education is proud to enhance learning by coordinating online volunteer tutors for K-12 students in need of extra support. We'll match you with a family in the community whose child needs support based on their subject area(s), grade level(s), and areas of expertise.
Tutors will provide individualized support, and draw on the Alberta Programs of Study as well as content knowledge and strategies in teaching and learning. This is a great way to develop your skills as educators.
Tutors will begin working with their families in October. If you have questions, please connect with us.
We will not be running a Spring 2023 tutoring program, but you can now sign up to tutoring in Fall 2023.
