New Opportunities: August 17, 2021

The Ed Lab will offer ONLINE tutoring for elementary-aged children during fall 2021. Tutoring will be twice a week for approximately one hour. Tutors and parents will decide on a regular schedule. The tutoring fees are reduced and will be paid using an online payment system. Because of the reduced fees, we will not offer any other discounts.

To participate in tutoring, we ask that you have reliable internet access as well as a laptop or desktop computer. Mobile devices such as tablets and smartphones have not been useful for the interactive teaching techniques our tutors use. Note that Ed Lab tutors plan and teach individualized lessons as part of their teacher preparation coursework, therefore tutoring time is not used to complete schoolwork or homework.

If you are interested in being included on the contact list, please email Brian Brinkley at [email protected] or leave a message on the Ed Lab’s voicemail (910) 962-3633. Please leave your phone number and email address. Tutoring spots are only available for the number of tutors taking classes this semester, so call or email today!
