Online Tutoring Platform HeyTutor Partners with LA School District to Offer Support, Tutoring Services

LOS ANGELES, Feb. 16, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- The COVID-19 global pandemic has caused a lot of children to fall severely behind in school as their kitchens or bedrooms were suddenly transformed into classrooms when learning was suddenly forced to go virtual as the coronavirus spread out of control.

More than 1 billion kids are at risk of falling behind from school closures and the shift to online learning. As a result, many of these children face the added risk of never returning to school, undoing years of progress made in education worldwide.

HeyTutor aims to put an end to those staggering statistics by partnering with the Glendale Unified School District. HeyTutor will provide tutors and special education instructors to the school district's new tutoring program.

The special education instructors will work full-time with moderate to severely challenged students in all K-12 subjects.

The tutors will start working with 10 schools in the Glendale Unified School District, offering part-time and full-time assistance to teachers as well as one-on-one support for things like homework help and test prep. HeyTutor plans to offer additional programs to further assist the school district with adult ESL support, exam proctors, and substitute teacher support.

HeyTutor Co-Founder Ryan Neman said, "We're extremely happy about this partnership with GUSD and proud to give back to our community during these unprecedented times. Students are falling further and further behind, and parents are looking for more ways to provide supplemental education. We're hoping that more schools adopt similar partnerships as students are in desperate need of assistance."

HeyTutor will offer support to all 25,789 GUSD students.
