“Live Homework Help”

“Live Homework Help” is a unique, Internet-based tutoring program that connects students, in grades 4-12, with expert tutors in the subject areas of Math, Science, English, and Social Studies.  Tutors are located all across the U.S. and consist of certified teachers, college professors, and graduate students, each of whom has been through a 7 year background check through Kroll America.  Admission to Live Homework Help, through the Library’s website, requires a Library card.  Students receive one-on-one help, in an online classroom, through voice technology, chat interface, multiple whiteboards, math tools, document sharing, and browser control.  Though the program is designed for 20 minute sessions, tutors will continue to a logical break point.  At that time, a student can print a copy of all chats and all whiteboard work, temporarily sign off, use the new information obtained through working with the tutor, then sign on again for additional sessions in the same or a different subject area.    

“Live Homework Help” is a FREE service provided by the Lexington Public Library.  It can be accessed from home, from work, from school, from inside the Library, or from anywhere students have computers (except  Macs) with Internet Access.  Students can receive this real time tutoring by going to the Library’s website, www.lexpublib.org, clicking on “Live Homework Help”, and following the few, simple instructions.  HOURS ARE 4PM – MIDNIGHT, 7 DAYS A WEEK!  Only the practice classroom can be accessed prior to 4PM.
