As a single, working mom I am always open to resources or programs that free up my time and provide value to both my daughter and me. During the Pandemic, it became very clear that I may not have the skills, patience, or bandwidth to be a teacher (especially to my strong-willed, beautiful, then 4-year-old – Kaia). Thankfully she is back in-person in Kindergarten, and though there’s no homework yet, we have a nightly tradition of math and reading work which is more of a struggle than I thought!
So, when I was introduced to GoPeer Online Tutoring it was a no-brainer’ win-win’ for me. It’s a valuable resource that provides educational support and guidance for my daughter and alleviates stress which frees up time for me.
What is GoPeer?
GoPeer connects parents with qualified college undergraduates who tutor students online (K-12) at an affordable rate.
Our Experience
Our first GoPeer tutoring session exceeded my expectations from start to finish. Our tutor, Crystal, was so patient, responsive, and really connected with Kaia. She was able to explain addition and subtraction in a way that Kaia really understood. Not only did my daughter receive the guidance that assisted her to understand the math concepts, but I also learned how to better support and guide her. By the end of the session the addition and subtraction processes she taught, really clicked for Kaia. Now when Kaia and I are practicing math – it isn’t a BATTLE!

Here is what Tracie, San Diego Moms writer and mama to son Christian, 6th grade had to say about her GoPeer Experience:
“My son Christian is a 6th grader, and currently has straight A’s in all of his classes. However, though he is very good with learning facts and information regarding writing the content, there is an opportunity for improvement in clarity and writing skills. Specifically, his grammar, and taking the information and putting it together in a well-written essay form.
Our tutor Ayda understood exactly what we were looking for. Christian was asked to read 3 chapters, complete a chapter summary, and speak to the main points of the chapter. When we logged in she had us share our screen so that Christian could work on the writing portion and she could assist.
Ayda was very complimentary about his work and would make suggestions (not give the answer!). She helped him find the run-on sentences and how to break them up appropriately. She helped him with his tenses, minor grammatical adjustments, and the commentary clearer. The session went so much better than he was anticipating, and we are going to be working with Ayda more. There was no question, we made the right choice. I also could not believe how reasonably priced the session was!”
