What is Bay Area Tutoring Association?
The Bay Area Tutoring Association is a non profit tutoring organization dedicated to improving the lives of children who have learning difficulties. "Bay Area tutoring is committed to providing a high quality, effective and affordable tutoring program that enhances the learning potential of underprivileged and at-risk students in the San Francisco Bay Area." Established in 1987, the association has grown to over 1400 members and tutors. "Bay Area tutors are committed to developing an integral part of the academic community in the Bay Area through volunteer tutoring, scholarship programs and classroom tutoring programs. Our tutors are an outstanding resource to students and parents alike." says Donna Smith, Executive Director of the Bay Area tutoring association.
"The Bay Area tutoring association serves as an important resource for parents and for the teaching community, especially because the tutors are so accessible and so eager to help. Many of our tutors have jobs as teachers or are involved with teaching at various community schools," says Amy Downey, a bay area tutor. "We get to know our students\' families, know their needs and are always available for a one on one tutoring session or a group tutoring in Math or Language Arts." Other volunteer news includes: -The math challenge program is accepting new tutors this summer. Call or email your favorite math challenge tutor.
-The volunteer news item includes a letter from the CEO and President of the Bay Area tutoring association. Mr. Robert T. Kiyosaki is a Harvard graduate student who became a millionaire in his own right. He founded the Kiyosaki Foundation with the mission of building a world class foundation that improves the lives of children in poverty. The school that Mr. Kiyosaki started in Japan later evolved into both an online center for learning Japanese and a national teaching organization, now known as the Kiyosaki Math Academy. In 2004 the school merged with the highly regarded Alcon institute, an internationally renowned school of learning.
-A parenthesis in the Volunteer News story indicates that the Kiyosaki foundation offers online tutoring services. The covid-19 website contains a link to the online tutoring website. There is a password protected page and a frequently asked question page. There is also a live chat option. Online tutoring services seem to be one of several offerings from the Bay Area tutoring association.
-The online tutoring services can be used by anyone in need of professional tutoring. The only requirement is that you have an Internet connection. Anyone over eighteen years old with basic computer skills can access the site and use the help available. No prior experience is necessary to register or to avail of online tutoring services. Parents can enroll their children as online tutors and the cost is about ten dollars per lesson.
- Students are assigned small blocks of time during which they will be immersed in each lesson. During this time they will have an extensive discussion with the tutor. This enables the students to gain greater understanding and confidence in their area of knowledge. In some cases this results in them passing the final test. In a few cases the students may fail to complete the course but this is not as common as it would otherwise be.
- The Bayareatutors also provide feedback through emails or through a website. Students are also able to access a calendar of when the tutor will be available. This calendar is reviewed every week by the tutor and students are expected to respect it. Failure to do so results in a severe sanction. The tutor reserves the right to make any changes to the schedule without informing the students.
- The service is provided by a combination of videocall, email, live chat and telephone calls. If you require any assistance you should call or log on to the website and speak to a trained online tutor immediately. The Bayareatutors website contains contact details of local tutors in Pakistan and they can be reached at anytime. You should use this resource to locate an online tutor who can meet your needs effectively and in a timely manner.
