Learning Pods:

Michael Giamellaro, Associate Professor, Master of Arts in Teaching Program, created a Facebook group where Central Oregon parents could connect with and hire tutors, teachers, homework helpers, etc. To find, search for "Central Oregon Teacher and Parent Connections” in Facebook or follow this link: https://www.facebook.com/groups/980309572391894/. **Please note, there is no background check or endorsement associated with any members so parents will need to do their due diligence, and the group is not associated with OSU, OSU-Cascades, or the MAT program. 

Care.Com Education Resources:

Care.com allows students to create a profile to offer services such as tutoring, pod teachers, and more. They have also published a Back to School Resource Guide for parents and those who are seeking these services which can be accessed here.

Outschool:

This platform allows educators to sign up and teach online on Zoom. Teachers are able to teach classes on topics they are passionate about and experienced with, and ideally that they have taught before. Classes allowed on all subjects and in all formats, for learners up to age 18. Outschool generally suggests offering a range of classes including short-form introductory classes that meet 1-4 times, as well as longer-form semester-long classes.
