Again this fall, GCPS students have access to Tutor.com, an online tutoring service, thanks to a partnership between GCPS and the Gwinnett County Public Library (GCPL). The free service offers one-on-one tutoring in 40 courses, including the core subjects of language arts, mathematics, science, and social studies as well as Advanced Placement courses. In addition, support is available in Spanish and by phone once a user has logged in.
New this year, students can benefit from personalized coaching to strengthen their study skills. Designed to help students organize, prioritize, and achieve their academic goals, coaching includes topics such as notetaking, time management, goal-setting, effective study techniques, and research. In addition, families have access to career resources, including job interview skills and résumé review.
Live tutoring support is available daily from 8 a.m. to 10 p.m. In addition, students can receive “drop-off support,” 24-7, by uploading a document that will be reviewed for a tutor’s feedback and returned at a later time. Students can use their GCPL library card or Branch Out account to access Tutor.com.
