Free Tutoring Help For Wollondilly Shire StudentsLast modified: September 14, 2009 - 10:59 AM
Wollondilly Shire school students can now receive free tutoring help online at the library or home, through an innovative new service just introduced by Wollondilly Library and Information Service. yourtutor creates an online classroom where students are connected to qualified, expert tutors for one- to - one help with homework, assignments, exam preparation and study questions. English, Maths and Science subjects are included and the service is available 4pm-8pm, Monday to Friday from either library or home computers. Help is immediate, professional and secure and it’s free to library members. Students in Years 4-12, simply log on to the library’s website and click on the link to access the program. 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 can now communicate with tutors the way they love to learn – via the internet- which makes the experience enjoyable as well as educational. Mayor, Cr Michael Banasik said the service showed commitment to providing first class services for young people in the area. “Although over a million Australian school kids receive tutoring support each year, the cost is just too much for many parents,” he said “We believe every student in the Wollondilly Shire should be able to get the help they need to succeed at school, regardless of their circumstances”. To gain access to ‘yourtutor’ from home you’ll need an Internet connection and your library card number. Simply go to www.wollondilly.nsw.gov.au/library and click on the ‘yourtutor’ icon.
