Volunteer Opportunity: Online Tutoring with PhysioCamp

PhysioCamp is a series of free education sessions that seeks to expose students to the health sciences. Our mission is to provide insight and support for students who may have an interest in the healthcare field for their future careers. We allow the students to get hands-on learning experience with medical equipment and anatomic models. We also provide students with information on different career options in the medical field and their corresponding academic requirements.

 

Unfortunately, due to COVID-19, we are unable to come out to the schools and provide that physical hands-on experience. However, as an alternative, we are providing free distance education via both tele-camps and 1-on-1 tele-tutoring for K-12 students. 

 

We are looking for undergraduate volunteers willing to commit 1-3 hours a week to tutor K-12 students 1-on-1 virtually in any subject of your choosing. If you are interested in volunteering for tele-tutoring, click here to sign up!
