What is HELM Learning?

Our goal is to help students around the world get an education while schools are out, and if you are passionate about this, we would love to have you on our team!

We are looking for driven individuals who are passionate about subjects they want to spread with others.

Logistics for Teaching

---- Teachers can select what class time works best for them
- You are welcome to create your own curriculum, although for some subjects we have curriculum created by previous teachers
- You will earn around 10 - 15 community service hours depending on how long your class is per session
