Varsity Tutors Launches Free “Virtual School Day” to Provide Live, Online Classes to Students Facing School Closures Resources include core and enrichment classes, assessment tools and information for parents,
Varsity Tutors today announced the launch of Virtual School Day—a free remote learning program that includes live,online classes and educational resources intended to help parents fill their kid’s day with enriched learning and to help, keep students from sliding academically during coronavirus school cancellations.
Virtual School Day provides students with 20 hours of free live, online instruction each week. Each class is led by an expert tutor with experience in the course topic, as well as familiarity with virtual instruction. Classes refresh weekly, with age-appropriate options for grades K-12.
“The massive number of school closures presents a daunting challenge for both students and parents,” said Brian Galvin, Chief Academic Officer at Varsity Tutors. “While some schools are offering online education, most are sending kids home with minimal self-guided homework or no school resources at all. Parents are rightly worried about their students sliding academically, and having their kid’s time consumed by video games or other empty-calorie entertainment. By providing free, high-quality resources that enable students to maintain academic momentum during this difficult time, we hope to remove a key source of stress for families worldwide.”
To equip parents with topics that are both educational and enjoyable for their learner, Varsity Tutors has curated a diverse course catalog in Virtual School Day for students of all ages:
Core Classes
● Math classes for K-12, covering skills from arithmetic to calculus● Reading, literature, and writing classes, including guided writing seminars to help students journal their experiences during the crisis
