How does Homework Hotline work? (i.e. Free online tutoring service managed by volunteers)

After the quick registration process of an underprivileged family, a tutor/volunteer is matched with a child. The ELPS foundation provides a written introduction/email to the family with first online tutoring session details and recap of the free online tutoring service, required tools, and expectations.
How do I get an online tutor?

After the underprivileged family register through the Homework Hotline program, the ELPS Foundation will assign a designated free tutor/volunteer for your child based on availability. We currently have a wait list for the subject of Math. Last, anyone can hire our online tutor(s) for their child or children, if interested.
