Hey nation! FYI is now offering virtual tutoring for your children.
Our overarching mission is to make children’s lives better. What better way to do that than to match a coalition of educated young adults that are passionate about teaching with families that need help continuing their children’s education during this national crisis?! Below you will find four bios, including mine. During this unusual time we can try to accommodate the hours that would work best for you. In our bios we have put a link to our resumes and booking system. Tutoring sessions are set up to be booked per hour. If you'd like to book a session with one of our tutors for longer than an hour, please book the hours needed separately. For example: 3-4pm, 4-5pm, etc. Please see policies in the drop down menu for information on payment, cancellations and privacy. If you are experiencing hardship, please don’t be discouraged, we would love to help.
