- Big Sister of BC Lower Mainland - Study Buddy Tutor - Cantonese and/or Mandarin Speaking
The Study Buddy program is a weekly one-to-one mentoring relationship that focuses on school work. Littles in this program not only improve their academics but also report a higher level of self-esteem. This program is for all female identifying youth who need academic assistance.
The program requires one tutoring session per week (one hour) for a minimum six-month commitment. Sessions take place at a mutually-agreeable location (e.g. library) with safe Covid-19 protocols or the sessions can be virtual after school or on weekends. The program runs through the summer depending on the needs of the Little Study Buddy and the match’s summer schedule. We encourage our new matches to continue to meet over the summer because even if they aren’t working on homework, they’re building a stronger connection.The program strives to do the following:
- Provide an academic role model to female identified youth aged 7-17
- Increase educational performance
- Promote the importance of staying in school and increase school attendance
- Enhance educational goal setting
- Decrease disruptive behaviour in school
Study Buddies work together to set appropriate educational goals for the Little. With the support of a Study Buddy tutor, Little Study Buddies are encouraged and equipped to improve their educational performance and meet their academic goals, which contributes to their overall self-esteem.
We have a need for Cantonese and Mandarin speaking Study Buddies in order to better support the families that we serve.
