We’re looking for a tutor who can come over 1-3 times a week, for about an hour each lesson, and help her both learn math concepts in general (hopefully this can be made fun, interesting, or at least engaging) and help her do her homework (might be less fun!).

 

She’s in live in-person school two days a week (Tuesdays and Thursdays) at Coram Deo Academy and we are especially looking for someone who might be able to come over Tuesday afternoons and ideally at some point during the day on Wednesdays.

 

We’re looking to pay about $20-25 per hour.

Interested?  Contact: David Scoggins <david@scogginsgroup.com>

My name is Kelly Ann, and I have a soon to be step daughter – she is a sweet, well behaved 5 year old and will be starting kindergarten at Armstrong Elementary this week!

Her Dad and I both work full schedules. I am in medicine, and he is in real estate.

Due to COVID, we are in need of a tutor Thursdays and Fridays to assist with her online classes as well as some extra help with kindergarten skills (writing, reading and math).

We are conveniently located walking distance from SMU.

If you are interested, please contact me at 469-401-0234. We can discuss time, compensation etc.

the First United Methodist Church of Allen is forming a Virtual Learning Support Center Task Force. We are looking for volunteers to staff this support center.

 

A few details:

-FUMC Allen will provide the internet access and a building for students Monday-Friday during normal school hours. 

 

-Students will be kindergarten through third graders broken into groups according to grade level. Capacity at this point allows for 20 students total. The teacher to student ratio will be 1:5. 

 

-Volunteers will work in half day (about 4 hour) shifts, one day per week. We would like to begin offering this to families as soon as possible. Volunteers’ roles would be supervising students as they complete their online schooling, helping with things like logging in and navigating websites.
