New site available for tutoring

Students in grades 8-12 can now access free tutoring programs through a new state partnership with schoolhouse.world, according to State Rep. Alan Morrison (R-Brazil).

The online resource provides help with SAT preparation, math courses and Advanced Placement classes. According to Morrison, schoolhouse.world was launched by the same person who founded Khan Academy, a non-profit organization working to provide free education opportunities around the world, in response to learning disruptions caused by COVID-19. Tutors are vetted, trained and monitored. Morrison said as students temporarily learned from home or had extended absences, they lost critical learning.

Students can connect with live, small-group tutoring through Zoom at no cost, with sessions focused on SAT reading, writing and math, including pre-algebra, algebra, geometry, trigonometry, pre-calculus, calculus and statistics. According to Morrison, support is also available for AP courses, including AP Calculus, AP Statistics, AP Chemistry, AP Biology, AP Physics and AP Computer Science.
