Covid Teaching Champions is designed to support Newman student learners with children during the pandemic of Covid-19. The team at Newman Students’ Union understand that parent learners may be finding it difficult at the minute balancing their studies and completing assignments, while trying to support their own children at home. We also understand that children may be struggling with online schooling, and their education may be suffering in certain areas.
Covid Teaching Champions is an initiative using ongoing tutoring using 1-1 online platforms such as Zoom or Microsoft Teams. It is a learner-centred opportunity for children to receive subject specific focused support, to keep them on track until they can return to their educational establishment.
The initiative also supports Education Students providing them with valuable teaching experience to add to their CV, and therefore doubles as an employability programme.
