Volunteer Opportunities 

Volunteer Homework Tutor

Craig Family Centre provides free homework and study support for local students in Years 1-10 via our Bright Brains Homework Club. Our primary focus is to provide academic support to local children from refugee and migrant backgrounds in a fun and safe learning environment.
 
We currently require more Volunteer Homework Tutors to help us provide this much needed service. Due to Covid-19 restrictions, sessions are currently delivered online via Zoom.
 
We are looking for friendly individuals aged 17+ with excellent communication skills and a desire to help young people build their confidence to learn and problem-solve.
 
We welcome applicants from all backgrounds. The position may be particularly relevant to students who study teaching, education support or a related discipline or have recent subject knowledge.
 
Study topics often include:

  • Beginner and advanced mathematics (e.g. fractions and decimals, place value, ratios, multiplication and division)
  • Exam revision, and
  • Science.
 
Tutors are required each Wednesday from 3.30pm to 5.30pm; this includes session planning and debriefing.
 
Training and ongoing support is provided. This is a rewarding role, working amongst a friendly and community-minded team.
 
Homework Tutors require the following:  
​
  • Computer efficiency
  • Excellent communication and interpersonal skills
  • An interest in working with and empowering children
  • Current study or a background in teaching, education support or a related discipline (or have recent subject knowledge)
