Why Tutor?

These children, striving to make it in a world where there odds are stacked against them, don’t just need a tutor to help them academically: they need you to be a motivator/mentor in their lives, so that they can have hope for the future. Tutoring and mentoring a child will offer an opportunity to cultivate a long-lasting and impactful relationship that will contribute to the brightening of your student’s future. These children are seeking assistance from those interested in their progress. If you are interested in their progress, then make a difference with Al Muntaha.

 

Tutoring with us is…

  • A great addition to your resumé

  • A chance to connect with a young Arab student and partake in a potentially life-changing experience!

 
  • All tutors who complete the 4 month tutoring period receive a certificate of participation. Our most passionate volunteers can also return to us if they would like us to send a letter of reference to a potential employer.

  • Our students are children living in the Middle East. Their educational experience has been significantly impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic as well as social and political issues, which is why they are in desperate need of a mentor to help them nurture their interests.

How It Works

1. Fill out the sign up form below to “Become a Tutor”.

2. A tutoring advisor will be in touch with you within 72 hours.

3. Your advisor will provide you with introductory resources and meet with you over email to guide you through a training course and brief you on your tutee.

4. Your advisor will introduce you to your student and guide you through your first session together.​

5. During your 60 minute weekly sessions, you will have the chance to teach your student based on a predetermined lesson plan. They may tell you they have schoolwork that they need help with. If not, you may choose to read with them, or help them with their art or math skills. We aren’t expecting you to be the perfect tutor; we are just asking that you plan for your lessons and bring a positive and encouraging attitude to each session.

6. We are expecting you to be able to commit to Al Muntaha Tutoring for a minimum of four months. If your plans change, please notify your tutoring advisor immediately.
