About the Learning Program
A tailored program to help seriously ill children catch-up on missed education.
The Ronald McDonald Learning Program assists school-aged children with serious illnesses and injuries to catch up on missed education following treatment and recovery. The program provides a suite of educational services including face to face or on-line tutorials with experienced teachers, tailored to students’ individual needs. All services are free to families thanks to funding from our generous RMHC supporters.
How it works
Qualified tutors are matched according to the student’s learning needs and their geographical location. Learning goals are established through communication with the student’s family, school and other professionals. Tutors generally tutor up to 3 students for one hour per week, in a one-to-one capacity. In person tutoring never occurs in the home of a tutor or a student; it is always conducted in a public place such as a school or a local library. Some high school students may require online tutoring.
Teach with Us
Ronald McDonald House Charities Victoria & Tasmania are always on the look-out for trained professionals to join the program and help seriously ill kids catch up on their missed education. Qualified tutors are contracted for services and are paid on an hourly basis. Tutors are required to:
- Have a teaching qualification
- Have current VIT registration or WWCC/police check
- Provide 2 referees
- Have an ABN for payment (tutors are contracted for services) and sign a contract
- Complete our child safety compliance (code of conduct, 20 min safe guarding children and young people module)
- Acknowledge and abide by Covid safe practices.
