Tutoring (Grades 8-12)

Our High School Tutoring program provides comprehensive social and educational activities throughout the school year for students in grades 8-12. Due to COVID-19, we are providing virtual high school tutoring for free for academic support. An after-school High School Tutoring program would provide the necessary, safe space, tutoring, and support to inspire students to excel, including but not limited to completing assignments and reading/literacy activities. Due to COVID-19, we are currently running this homework club and high school tutoring virtually online. At the end of the school year, the management team of OLDF, along with the tutors, will evaluate to assess the milestones, accomplishments, and areas of improvement for the High School Tutoring program to rerun it successfully for the following school year (2025-2026) and beyond. HOW TO PARTICIPATE Our program is free and provides a space for high school students who need additional tutoring/mentoring support. Priority will be given to: Students who are falling behind in school and are at risk to repeat a grade Students who are referred by a teacher or school professional Students whose first language is other than English Students who face a lack of family/social support and are experiencing challenges at home Students who are unable to hire a tutor/mentor due to financial hardship Parents: Parents can fill out the application form below to sign up for their child.
