Need help with your schoolwork while you are home from school, but are unable to meet with a tutor? Check out Tutor.com, a free tutoring service for students of all ages, available through the FCPL website's eLearning Page! All you need is a library card! Simply login with your library card number and PIN (Students who attend public school in Forsyth County can use their student ID number as their library barcode) and create a Tutor.com account. Then select a topic, subject, and grade, and connect with a tutor through live one-on-one chat! Live tutors are available from 4:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m. More than 3,000 expert tutors are available, and students can choose from more than 25 academic subjects. While chatting, you can share files and a whiteboard with your tutor to go over examples and illustrations. Tutors will work with you to solve problems and understand the subject matter. All communication with a tutor is kept anonymous and confidential. At the end of a session, you can save the work and notes for later review. And if you enjoyed working with the tutor, you can add them to your favorites!
There’s more to Tutor.com than live tutoring sessions. You can drop-off essays, resumes, and math assignments for review. Just upload an electronic copy of your work and an expert tutor will review and return it within 12-24 hours.
And the SkillsCenter Resource Library offers study and test preparation, such as SAT and ACT prep. The SkillsCenter Resource Library also offers career resources for high school, college, and adult learners to explore!
Whether you’re a school, college, or adult student - with Tutor.com, you’ll be ready for that next test.
Questions? Help is available through FCPL’s Ask a Librarian service.
