Help For Local Online Learners

Since I left the classroom, I’ve been seeking new opportunities to work with readers, writers, and learners outside formal schooling. Listening to the radio one day, I learned that, “There’s a growing wave of parents that are building their own learning cooperatives. A handful of families pool their resources to form a ‘pandemic pod’ led by a parent, a tutor or even a private teacher.”

I thought: “Hey! That’s the kind of thing I used to do for students–before school, after school, during lunch, nights, and weekends as a public school teacher. I wonder if I can help some local students?”

I think I can, and I think my rates are reasonable. BUT if a student needs help and lacks funds, I can work with them to find a way, so contact me!

If you know any Lenawee County (MI) high school or college students who can use support navigating the world of online school during a global pandemic, let them know I’m here to help. Details follow.
