As a Volunteer Tutor, you will:

• Work one-to-one with a child who is experiencing learning challenges


• In collaboration with parents, guardians, teachers, etc., recognize such challenges and formulate/deliver tutoring to address these


• In addition to school subject content, work to improve the child's capacity to comprehend, retain, problem solve, etc. (incl. effective 'study habits')


• As part of your tutoring, improve the confidence, self-esteem, and social skills of the child whom you assist


• Act as a 'role model', exemplify a positive, productive attitude and acceptable social behaviour that the child will be encouraged to adopt


• Continually monitor the progress of your tutoring, including periodic reports to PCAS and others about how the child is doing

When you use your motor vehicle for this 'role', you'll be entitled to reimbursement of your 'mileage'.
