Step 2: Search for Keywords in Groups

Now that you have joined as many groups as you could find in your territory, the next step will be to do a search within those groups. Use the magnifying glass to search "tutor". You can also try other key words such as: “education”, “home school”, “math”, “teacher”, etc.

By using these keywords, you will be able to engage with people who have requested tutoring, are looking for support etc. 

TIP: Be sure to filter for ‘Most Recent’ on the left hand side after you search - this will allow you to view the most recent posts first.
