Also Joins With Larkins' DreamLaunch Tour
Aviation is on the minds of more
Americans than ever before, thanks to the heroic landing of a
commercial jetliner in the Hudson River last month. What people may
not know is that 25% of all aviation employees are eligible to
retire this year... and there may not be enough young graduates to
fill these positions.
Online homework help and tutoring service Tutor.com recently
partnered with Careers in Aviation and Jamail Larkins' nationwide
DreamLaunch Tour, to help educate students about these career
opportunities. To help students realize their aviation dreams,
Tutor.com is offering every student 50 minutes of free online math
and science tutoring, and is giving away one $1,000 scholarship to
a qualified middle or high school student.
At age 14, Larkins followed his dream and became one of the
youngest American pilots to fly solo in Canada. Ten years and
countless flights later, Larkins travels the country on the
DreamLaunch Tour, sponsored by Embry-Riddle, to share his love of
flying and shows students how to overcome obstacles in order to
achieve their own dreams.
"Even at the age of 12 I knew I wanted to fly and be a part of
the aviation industry, but I knew first I had to succeed in school,
get a higher education, and then apply the lessons I learned in
school to my business and career," said Larkins (shown below). "I
hope this scholarship from Tutor.com encourages young people to
consider aviation as a career and help provide them with the
valuable education they need to get there."
Tutor.com has a network of over 2,000 certified tutors available
24/7 to help students with homework, exam preparation, study skills
and much more. The math tutors and science tutors offer help with
everything from basic math to advanced calculus, physics and more.
Over 4 million students have used Tutor.com for their educational
needs.
