On-line Tutoring
A free online tutoring service is available this spring through Santa Clara County Library. Students in grades 3-12 can log onto a special website from a computer at home or at the library and have a virtual one-on-one session with an experienced tutor familiar with the subject matter taught at a particular grade level.
The tutor and student use instant messaging and an interactive "white board" to work through homework problems and concepts together. Tutoring can be done in either English or Spanish, and is accessed through the library's website at www.santaclaracountylib.org.
Students who log on from home computers will download free software to install the interactive white board tutoring tool.The online homework help is available seven days a week, from 1-10 p.m.
There are more than 1,000 tutors at the other end of the website, each a specialist in a subject area. The homework question is instantly matched up to the appropriate online tutor.
