由于疫情,学生们不得不改上网课,高中学生Goyal意识到了网课的缺陷,与同学创办了TutorScope,给同学和年龄更小的孩子们提供在线帮助。

Charvi Goyal is a high school student from Dallas, Texas who helps out other classmates by tutoring them between classes. When Goyal's high school moved online last spring because of the coronavirus crisis, she decided to take her teaching online. The 17-year-old junior and three of her fellow students created TutorScope,a service that offers free tutoring services to other children, including younger ones.

TutorScope started with a small number of tutors who helped young people in their city.But it has grown into a group of 22 tutors from Texas, Arizona, and Ohio. They have helped more than 300 students, some from as far away as the Republic of Korea.

TutorScope aims to give the one-on-one help that teachers have traditionally given while walking around their classrooms. But now, many teachers cannot provide that one-on-one support because they lack time or have issues with technology.

Sarah Newman said her children, 7-yearold twins, have had helpful TutorScope experiences. The service has freed her and her 17-year-old son to pay attention to their work.“With these tutors, I realize they have time,”she said. “I think they are very patient with these younger kids, which I do not even have as a mother. I have patience in other things, but I don't have patience with teaching.” TutorScope is not the first non-profit to give online tutoring.

People around the world have come up with ways to educate children during the coronavirus crisis, from a teacher in Nigeria who grades homework to a so-called sidewalk school in Mexico. What makes the TutorScope special is the connection between the teenage volunteers and the other students they are helping.

In addition to helping others, the tutors also get experience themselves that will look great on a college or job application. The service can also help them decide whether they want to teach full-time or run a business or an NGO someday.
