About

Idea

The public health concerns regarding the novel Coronavirus COVID-19 are having a significant impact on public life. One of many areas that are being hit particularly hard is the educational sector. Schools are closed. Children are staying home. When it comes to tutoring and home schooling, it is obvious that parents cannot be experts on all subject matters of their kids’ classes. But in the community, everybody is an expert on something.

On this platform, we aim to provide free, quick, uncomplicated, personal, interactive, and task-based remote tutoring sessions. We want to leverage the good intentions of volunteers in the community and connect them with parents and their children, who could benefit from impromptu tutoring help while school is out. That is why our approach aims to reduce complexity and is purely fueled by the spirit of the community to help out. Yes, there are various other reputable online tutoring services. And those are certainly a better solution to continuously guarantee substantial education in the long term. At TeachMyChild.info, we aim to provide quick support in the short term by removing bureaucratic obstacles: No sign in, no accounts, no payments, no commitment, no automation. All submissions and matches are being personally vetted, executed, and monitored by us. It is simply about matching a student and a voluntary tutor from any background on the basis of a single task in the simplest way possible. That means that there is no large commitment on either side. Citizens can offer and hold quick remote sessions on the fly to tutor on a particular task that they are knowledgeable about.

We aim to combine technology and community spirit to bridge the educational gap for school children and help out their parents, until a sustainable solution has been put in place.
