Tutoring Resources and Virtual Family Activities

Pepperdine recognizes that many parents in our community continue to face significant adjustments as physical schools and child care resources remain limited or closed throughout the fall. In addition to opportunities previously shared with you and available on the Human Resources website, we hope the resources below are helpful in supporting you during this time.

Hire a Pepperdine Student

If you would like to personally hire a Pepperdine student to assist with tutoring, babysitting, or other household needs, please consider posting on Handshake, the University's job posting site managed by the Student Employment Office. Their team will help you post and take down your listing, and you are able to facilitate the hiring process according to your own schedule and specific needs. Click here to request a posting, or contact Student.Employment@Pepperdine.edu for more information.

Consider an Outside Tutoring Resource

While Pepperdine does not endorse specific tutoring programs, Human Resources has gathered some available programs and tutoring options in the greater Los Angeles area.

Log On to Virtual Family Fun

Human Resources regularly updates a list of educational and interactive resources on its website to further engage children in a virtual environment. These include natural history, art, and fitness videos for a variety of ages. Please contact us with suggestions for other resources that our community may enjoy!

Join a Parenting Support Group

You recently received an email invitation to join a small parenting support group that begins in late October. Participants will attend a three-part series, with one session per week for three weeks, led by an accredited therapist. Therapists will discuss common concerns and techniques to help caregivers combat frustrations in the home setting, and participants will have the opportunity to ask questions and share their own experiences. Please register on the Human Resources website.

We recognize the hardships and empathize with faculty and staff parents during this time of disruption. We hope that the myriad of existing and new resources above are helpful, and please let us know how we can assist you in the meantime.
