Mastery Learning Hour

Mission
By training student volunteers in innovative teaching strategies and giving them the support they need to thrive, it's our mission to provide the highest possible quality free tutoring to every K12 child in the world anytime anywhere in any subject. Through this approach, we hope to 1) erase inequity in education through access to high quality 1-1 instruction 2) raise compassionate citizens who have formed healthy attachments with positive role models 3) build a society of critical thinkers who are able to use scientific reasoning to analyze and take action in their world 4) inspire and support the next generation of teachers through excellent training and meaningful field work. We hope to achieve this by rigorous attention to training and active collaboration with schools, teachers and parents. We're starting with K12 math in English and Spanish, but it's our ultimate aim to provide tutoring in every subject, not just STEAM, but play-based learning, foreign language and other eclectic subject 24 hours a day.
Program Description
Masteryhour.org is a free, online tutoring program for K12 students, led by volunteers from colleges and universities, currently offered in English and Spanish. We use a mastery-based approach to ensure students advance at their own rate. All our tutors are trained in innovative teaching techniques including inquiry-based learning. anti-bias education, child-centered communication differentiating learning and cultivating a growth mindset. Volunteer professors and math teachers come to observe tutoring sessions and offer feedback and support to the student tutor volunteers. All the tutoring happens in the Mastery Hour zoom room. Students can drop in whenever they need tutoring and are paired with tutors in breakout rooms - or can stay in the main room for study hall (occasionally asking a question as needed). While we're starting with math offered twice a day in our zoom room, we hope to add more subjects and hours until Masteryhour.org is available 24 hours a day for free to any child who needs it.
