Werklund K-12 Tutoring Program
Become a Tutor
Applications for Fall 2021 are now closed!
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.

A pandemic is a challenge, but can turn into unexpected opportunities as well. The work and expertise from our tutor and your school have proven it beyond the shed of doubt.
