Volunteer: Online Tutor

3 days ago Be among the first 25 applicants Project Details Attend a mandatory online training session before beginning tutoring, which covers communication strategies, common academic challenges, and safeguarding practices Provide online academic support to primary school students (ages 6–14) at least twice per month, typically in 60-120 minute sessions Use patience and positive encouragement to help students understand difficult concepts and regain confidence in their learning Submit a brief log after each session (via Excel or Google Form) summarizing what was covered and any areas where the student needs further support Background The online tutoring component of the 2025/26 IMPACT Mentorship Program was created to address the academic struggles of underprivileged primary school students in Hong Kong. Many of these students face learning challenges but lack access to affordable, individualized support outside the classroom. This initiative connects them with compassionate volunteer tutors who offer one‑on‑one academic help in core subjects like Chinese, English, and Mathematics. Tutors meet with students online at least twice a month to help them overcome learning obstacles, improve their academic confidence, and develop stronger study habits. In doing so, the program not only supports the students’ academic growth but also fosters meaningful connections that contribute to their overall motivation and well‑being. This flexible, remote volunteering opportunity allows passionate individuals—whether in Hong Kong or abroad—to make a real difference in a student’s life, one session at a time. What We Have To ensure every online tutor feels confident and supported, we provide a comprehensive onboarding process before they begin. This includes a structured online training session covering effective tutoring strategies, communication techniques for working with younger students, and child safeguarding guidelines. Why this is important This online tutoring initiative directly supports EdQuity Hong Kong Foundation’s mission to promote educational equity and whole‑person development for underprivileged students. By mobilizing volunteers to provide accessible, personalized academic support, the program helps bridge the learning gap that many students face due to socioeconomic barriers. Beyond improving academic performance, the one‑on‑one tutoring relationship also fosters motivation, confidence, and a sense of support—key elements that align with our goal of nurturing students’ long‑term growth and well‑being. At the same time, the initiative empowers volunteers to take an active role in social change, building a more compassionate and inclusive learning community.
