Aby Marco received an email from the City School District of New Rochelle, announcing the new availability of free tutoring services through the district’s partnership with Tutor.com. But her daughter, Lola Bernstein, had already signed up for the service available around the clock.
“She uses it specifically for chemistry and it was really great to have that conversation with her,” said Marco. “Lola has track and other activities after school. Tutor.com allows her to plan out a schedule that works best for her.”
Marco reports that her daughter said Tutor.com has proven to be extremely helpful – and hundreds of other school district students offer similar praise.
All students district-wide now have free, unlimited access to live, one-to-one tutoring and homework support in English or Spanish. The service is available for a range of subjects (including math, writing, science, social studies, world languages, Advanced Placement® – AP® subjects, and even SAT prep). Students receive personalized attention and can communicate with tutors via text-chat or voice.
Connecting with a tutor is quick and easy: Students can access Tutor.com by signing into their school district devices, accessing the school district’s launchpad, and simply clicking the Tutor.com icon to start a live tutoring session. Students using a non-district-provided device must sign into Launchpad (https://launchpad.classlink.co...) first, then click the Tutor.com icon to access Tutor.com.
