Online Homework Help

Not every family has the financial resources to access private tutoring, yet many students continue to face increasing academic pressure and difficulty keeping up in class. Our Online Homework Help service exists to bridge this gap by supporting students who may otherwise be left to struggle alone—helping them understand what is taught in class, clarify confusing concepts, and complete homework with greater confidence. Rather than adding pressure or competition, our aim is to alleviate academic burden through patient explanation, encouragement, and step-by-step guidance, so learning feels more manageable and students can gradually regain confidence and a sense of control over their learning.

Why?

Who?

This service is open to primary school students who need extra academic support but may not have access to private tutoring, particularly those who feel overwhelmed by homework or struggle to understand class material. We welcome volunteer tutors who have completed Secondary 4 education or above and are passionate about supporting younger students. Volunteering is highly flexible, allowing tutors to choose sessions that fit their own schedules, making it possible to serve meaningfully without long-term or fixed commitments.

How?

Delivered through live online sessions on Zoom on weekday evenings, students bring real homework or topics taught in class for guidance. Tutors support students in one-on-one breakout rooms, breaking down concepts step by step in a non-judgmental environment that focuses on understanding rather than rushing for answers. Sessions are coordinated by our team to ensure structure, consistency, and a supportive learning experience that reduces stress and builds confidence over time.

Our Approach: Support Without Pressure

The aim is to help students understand, not to rush, compare, or push beyond their capacity.

Understanding, Not Stress

Encouragement Over Correction

Mistakes are treated as part of learning, helping students feel safe to ask questions.

Learning at the Student's Pace

Tutors adapt explanations based on each student's level and needs.

How will participants benefit?

Better grasp of concepts taught in school, making homework and lessons more manageable.

Clearer Understanding of Class Content

Increased Confidence in Learning

Develop confidence to attempt questions independently and participate more actively in class.

Healthier Attitudes Toward School

Begin to see learning as something they can handle, rather than something to fear or stress about.

Tutor Training

Becoming a Good Tutor

This session focuses on practical tutoring skills, including clear explanation techniques, scaffolding concepts step by step, encouraging questions, and responding to mistakes with patience and empathy. Tutors also receive guidance on child safeguarding, ethical boundaries, and creating a calm, respectful, and non-judgmental learning space for students.

Tutors are introduced to the purpose and values of EdQuity’s Online Homework Help service. The training emphasizes educational equity, reducing academic stress, and supporting students who may lack access to private tutoring, helping tutors understand their role in alleviating—not adding to—students’ learning pressure.

All tutors are required to attend a training session before beginning service. Our tutor training is designed to equip volunteers with the skills and understanding needed to support students effectively and responsibly in an online learning environment.
