Weekend Virtual Tutors for Struggling Readers

Children & Youth, Education | Apr 24, 2023 | Volunteer Event

Help us help our BINHI Scholars learn how to read, speak, and spell better English through our virtual tutoring program.

About the Project

The BINHI Buddy Project is a one-on-one personalized tutoring method of learning where BINHI Scholars will be coached by a volunteer to help them overcome reading challenges. The project responds to the needs of the scholar by focusing on the reading skill where there is a difficulty. It aims to prepare the scholar for independent learning.

The project will be implemented online using available free online platforms such as Google apps and Facebook.
