Four free tutoring resources

There are a few different options for tutoring help with homework:

  1. https://freestemtutoring.org/ this is a free tutoring online program that some of our students are a part of.
  2. https://riveraattatutor.wixsite.com this is the site that our students created to use to schedule and provide free tutoring from LOLHS students.
  3. Then there is SMARTTHINKING online tutoring which is accessed right through your myLearning/Canvas course on the left-hand side. It is very slow but you do work with a real person and they help you step by step. See detailed information below.
  4. Lastly, you can ALWAYS reach out to your teacher and ask for help and schedule a separate Zoom with them 🙂

Embedded into every student’s myLearning account is 600,000 (six hundred thousand) minutes of free tutoring per student. This tutoring is available every single day, 24 hours a day, 7 days per week. It has a real life tutor there in live time answering questions, helping with science homework or English, or AP Stats, etc.
