Online Tutoring

Gwinnett students in grades 4-12 have a personal online tutor as close as their home computer or the Gwinnett County Public Library, thanks to Live Homework Help. The service is free, easy to use, and available to students when they need homework help the most… between 2 p.m. and midnight, seven days a week. And now, Spanish-language tutoring also is available between the hours of 4 and 10 p.m., Sunday through Thursday.

The online tutors-- teachers, college professors, and graduate students-- undergo a background check and extensive training before they are certified by Tutor.com, the nation's largest online tutoring service and provider of Live Homework Help. Tutors specialize in mathematics, language arts, social studies, or science. Spanish-language tutoring is available for mathematics and science.

Here’s how it works:

From home, the student logs onto the tutor.com area of the Gwinnett County library web site -- http://rpa.gwinnettpl.org/rpa/webauth.exe?rs=TUT --; then, enters his/her library card and personal ID number. (Students using a computer at one of the library's 11 branches, simply click on the icon on the main screen. No card or ID required.)

First-time users at home are prompted to download software, an easy process.

The student selects the subject and grade level. Then, it takes just a minute or so to connect with a tutor.

The average session lasts about 15-20 minutes, but a tutor will stay online until the student understands the concepts. In the electronic sessions, participants use an interactive "white board" where they can draw a graph, work through a mathematical equation, or diagram a sentence. Tutor and student communicate via a chat function.
