Your Tutor
School students can now receive free tutoring help online at their library or in their homes, through an innovative new service just introduced by the Glen Innes Severn Public & TAFE Library in association with Tutoring Australasia. yourtutor is a unique learning service that connects students via the Internet to qualified, expert tutors for individual conversations about homework, assignments, exam preparation and study questions.
Tutors are certified teachers, professional tutors, post graduates and advanced undergraduates from Australian universities. They can review specific homework and assignment questions with students on line, using features like controlled chat, an interactive white board and shared web browsing. Students use yourtutor because it fits in with their online lives. It’s immediate and anonymous, and that means kids are comfortable asking questions they might not ask in class.
The service is also ideal for busy parents who are unable to assist their children with homework each night. For more information about this service please contact the Library on 6730 2600.
