Alternate Tutor Hours

Riverways Education Partnerships offers a few options for students whose regularly scheduled tutoring hours with their site have been derailed due to the Seattle Public School District’s school closures and/or required student assessments. We encourage tutors to try and make up hours another time first, to get as much experience in the classroom as possible, but we have created some options in the case that schedules are tight.

Tutor Training Week

Every quarter on weeks that Seattle Public Schools are not in session, Riverways offers tutors the opportunity to make up hours by attending workshops on topics in education hosted by UW community members. You can learn more about these workshops here.

Online Tutor Resource Modules

Riverways has created a series of modules around topics in education for students to make up hours as a last resort. When taking these modules, tutors are expected to put in valuable thought to each response in order to get approved for alternate tutor hours. Each module counts for 2 hours, and we encourage students to only use these modules at the end of the quarter when they do not have the time to complete their hours another way.

If you have any questions regarding whether you’re eligible to take these modules for replacement hours, please email riverways@uw.edu
