ONLINE TUTORING PROGRAM BY VALERIE TAN

Concerned about how kids from lower-income families were coping with their studies during the Circuit Breaker period, Valerie worked with Lakeside Family Services to initiate an online tutoring programme.

She enlisted the help of friends from Junior College—who like her, had just completed their GCE A level exams. In a short space of time, Valerie managed to get 50 tutors matched with 50 students in need. And outside of tutoring, they also organised activities like art classes for the kids to have fun.

The programme was so successful, classes have continued even after the students returned to on-site classes.
