Beyond Barnard

Virtual Tutoring Corps

Tutoring

So many Barnard students already pursue tutoring opportunities as part of their community engagement and service work. Many also work in tutoring positions to support their costs. LaunchedĀ in Fall 2020 by Beyond Barnardā€”in collaboration with the Office of the Provost, Dean of the College Division, and Human Resourcesā€”the College's Virtual Tutoring Corps represents a pilotĀ effort to connect current students with faculty and staff who have K-12-aged children.

The programĀ provides faculty and staff parents with support in their home virtual learning environments, while also creating meaningful virtual work opportunities (and connections to faculty and staff) for Barnard students. The Virtual Tutoring Corps is also specifically promotedĀ to students on work study, in an effort to connect them to jobs that will help fund their costs during the semester.
