Cal State Fullerton educators lead effort to provide free virtual tutoring

The College of Education at California State University, Fullerton is offering free virtual tutoring to K-12 students. According to the College of Education website, tutoring is led by student teachers who have all received college degrees and are in the process of receiving their teaching credentials.

Parents and guardians are encouraged to register children in elementary K-5th, middle school 6th- 8th, high school 9th -12th, as schedules are posted for two weeks at a time.

Amber Holloway, an educator for 24 years, who earned a master’s degree in educational technology in 2012 at CSUF and teaches sixth-grade math and science in the Compton Unified School District, is coordinating the Free Virtual Tutoring program.

“I’ve designed the platform to give parents the ability to register from any device, receive reminders and login information about sessions via text and email, and provide feedback, all in one click,” Holloway said in a statement.

“The role of the tutors is to provide extra help to students in a small setting. The tutors adjust to the needs of the class as they encounter different learning abilities within a given topic,” she said.

Charter Communications, a leading broadband connectivity company and cable operator serving more than 30 million customers in 41 states,  is offering free broadband and Wi-Fi access for 60 days to households with K-12 students or college students who do not already have a Spectrum broadband subscription. Cox Communications, a cable entertainment, and broadband services provider, is also offering free wifi for 30 days for low-income families, among other offerings.

Additionally, the College of Education at California State University, Fullerton has set up a separate Resources for Virtual Teaching and Learning website to support learning for middle and high school math, at-home science, provide free interactive eBooks, and web seminars, including one on contemporary science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) education.
