YourTutor - Online Tutoring
Did you know that members of the Sutherland Shire Libraries can access online tutoring at home for free using our subscription to the Yourtutor service?Here is what one parent had to say about Yourtutor:
"Just wanted to let you know my Year 9 daughter used YourTutor from home to help with a maths assignment (Yr 9 maths is way beyond me!) and had great success! It was quick, easy to use and the tutor was able to help by working through the problem with her. My daughter was equally impressed...this in itself is no easy thing to achieve!"
Yourtutor allows student to connect via an online classroom to live tutors, one-to-one. Help is available to students in Maths, Science and English for homework problems, assignment research and study skills for students in years 4-12.
Students and tutors can review specific homework, exam, and assignment questions using features such as controlled chat, an interactive white board and shared Web browsing. Tutors and students can type maths equations using a special equation tool, review educational Web sites using a shared browser tool and much more.
The tutors are certified teachers, professional tutors, post-graduates and advanced undergraduates from top Australian universities. They all have years of tutoring experience, are experts in the subjects they teach and have passed government background checks.
Best of all - it's free!
Sutherland Shire Libraries has a subscription to the service that allows library members to access Yourtutor from their home computer. Just make sure you have your library card number handy when you log on.
