LSF Tutoring Program, serving PreK-12th grade students in math and reading, will be held virtually through Zoom from January 25th through May 14, 2022 Spring Semester. Sessions will be available between 4-6 pm Tuesdays through Fridays as well as Saturdays from 9 am - 12 pm. You DO NOT need to be available during all of these times, rather you will choose 1 or more hours within this time frame to tutor weekly. High school tutors will tutor younger students.

We'll be continuing to use Zoom video conferencing for tutoring. Zoom has amazing features like screen-sharing, so tutors will be able to see students' screens and a digital whiteboard.
We will provide activities for you to work on with your students. You can fill an important role in helping them strengthen what they learned last school year and stay on top of new material they’re learning during this challenging time.
- A student’s parent/guardian must provide our organization with written approval of the student’s participation in the virtual platform prior to the student serving/volunteering.
- Students must use personal/private accounts (not MCPS student accounts) to engage in the virtual platform.
- Students will only engage with others under the direct supervision of a nonprofit supervisor. The nonprofit supervisor will be directly present in the virtual space (including any breakout sessions) at all times.
- The nonprofit supervisor will initiate and host all virtual sessions. If the nonprofit supervisor is not available to initiate and host the virtual session, the session will not occur.
- Virtual sessions will not be recorded.
- Students should not share or upload any videos, pictures, or images of themselves, unless the nonprofit organization has obtained a signed form/waiver from the student’s parent/guardian authorizing permission/release.
- Students’ email addresses/home addresses or any personally identifying information will remain protected and not shared.
Student participation in this service project is at the discretion of the student’s parent/guardian. The nonprofit organization is responsible for maintaining student safety and privacy. The nonprofit organization will determine the number of SSL hours awarded based on the evidence submitted. Parents/guardians should contact the nonprofit directly with any questions and/or concerns. This service activity is designed to be completed within the safety of the student’s home until schools resume normal status.
The LSF Spring Tutor Training Form LSF Spring 2022 Tutor Training Form contains training videos that are MANDATORY to watch in order to tutor with us this Spring. Please ensure you have adequate time to complete it when you start the form. We will match students and tutors on a rolling basis; if you turn in the form after all of our students have been matched with permanent tutors, we will ask you to be a floater and fill in when we need substitutes. If you would like to watch the videos before beginning the form, to save time, you can access the videos here on our LSF Tutor Resource Padlet.
