Project: Universal Minds
Project: Universal Minds is a program that brings students at the University of Toronto closer to their community.
It’s a volunteer-based tutoring program for struggling high school students in schools near our campus. You’ll meet one-on-one with a student either in person at a local school or using an online meeting platform (like Zoom). This program is different from other programs in that it’s a free tutoring service for high school students.
​
As university students our tutors serve as much as mentors as they do teachers as they are showing high school students the opportunities available to them in post-secondary education.
Project: Universal Minds currently offers tutoring in Math, Science and English, tutors are free to select a particular tutoring discipline, but are not limited to sticking to one subject when tutoring.
-
Each tutor must meet with their student for a minimum of one hour per week (CCR recognized program).
-
Tutors have the freedom to meet with their students at a time that fits their own schedules.
-
Both Undergrad and Graduate students at the University of Toronto are welcome to apply.
-
It’s perfect for hands on teaching experience or serving as a prerequisite for teacher’s college.
