Students in New Jersey and in other states around the country don’t need to dial 9-1-1 to get help with challenging homework like the child in this now-famous "9-1-1 Math Homework" video did.
In some New Jersey towns students can access real-time tutors on a site called “Homework Help NJ,” provided by the New Jersey State Library Association.
The FREE on-line homework network offers live tutors who cover Math, Science, Social Studies, and English homework help for students in grades K-12 and college, and for adult learners.
Homework tutoring assistance is provided by one tutor working with one student at a time to ensure that individualized attention is given, with most tutoring sessions averaging 20 minutes.
The screened and certified tutors are available from 2-10 p.m. on Sunday through Saturday of each week, and tutoring for Spanish-speaking learners is available from Sunday through Thursday from 2-10 p.m.
Currently, four states in the U.S. offer the Tutor.com homework assistance on a statewide basis – Alabama, Alaska, Kansas, and Rhode Island.
In New Jersey, the following public libraries participate in this free on-line homework tutoring program:
Camden Free Public Library, Elizabeth Free Public Library, Franklin Township Library, Gill Memorial Library, Gloucester County Library System, Gloucester City Library, Jersey City Free Public Library, Monroe Twp Public Library, New Brunswick Free Public Library, Newark Public Library, Paterson Free Public Library, Pitman Public Library, Township of Washington Public Library, West Deptford Free Public Library, Wenonah Public Library, Westville Public Library, Willingboro Public Library and Woodbury Public Library.
