These days, we spend a lot of time at home — for work, for play, and even for school. I don’t know if any of us imagined our kids being sent home to learn in 2022, but that is the reality for many families right now. Unfortunately, there are challenges that come with virtual learning. There are technical difficulties, less hands-on activities, and limited one-on-one learning time. Our teachers are going above and beyond during these difficult times, but they are understandably spread thin. This is where GoPeer tutoring resource can help, from the safety and comfort of home.
What is GoPeer?
GoPeer is a resource that connects families to qualified college undergraduates who are available to tutor students in kindergarten through college, in over 150 subjects. Simply create an online account, tell GoPeer some basic information (How old is your student? In what area(s) do they need help?), and then wait to be matched with a tutor.
How long does it take to be matched?
Once your student is matched with a tutor, you will receive a message from them, either on the app or online. If you’d like to proceed, you can schedule a free 15-minute interview to make sure that they are the best fit for you. If you feel like it’s a great fit, you can move forward. If you don’t feel like it’s a good match, you can go back to your inbox and choose a different tutor. The process is quick, and you can have a meeting set up in as soon as 5 minutes after creating an account!
Why online tutoring?
We are doing everything else online these days, so why not? In reality, the pandemic has made it difficult to meet face-to-face. GoPeer allows you the one-on-one experience that your child craves, without ever having to leave the house. My six-year-old did virtual learning last year and while it was okay, she got very frustrated having to wait to unmute herself every time she wanted to speak. She wanted more freedom to talk to her teachers and friends, and had I known about GoPeer then, she could’ve benefited from an hour of undivided attention from someone other than me, while learning how to read.
Our kids have sacrificed a lot over the past two years, and their education shouldn’t have to be one of those things. GoPeer’s convenient and affordable tutoring resource is a tool that every parent should have in their back pocket. Whether it’s for your talkative six-year-old who needs a little more one-on-one attention after a day of virtual school, or your high school student who’d like to raise their grade in Algebra, there is something for everyone at GoPeer!
