Online+Tutor

= Welcome to Tutor.com! =

This guide will help you get started with Tutor.com. Use it to integrate the program into your teaching and classroom.

It’s simple—students bring their questions to an online Tutor.com session whenever they get stuck on a problem. Tutors work one-to-one with students, asking questions, making suggestions, but never simply giving the answers. The goal is to help each student understand the concepts so they can continue to work on their own.

Tutor.com is here to be your partner in helping to meet your student achievement goals and stay on track with your curriculum. Students using Tutor.com will come to class more prepared to learn and move forward. Also, if a student is falling behind, or another is moving ahead of the class, you can provide speciﬁc exercises for them to work on and be conﬁdent that they can get the extra time on task they need to master the concepts.
