Homework Help

The Student Success teacher was away a day last week and asked if I could make a 30 minute presentation to my grade 10 history class. I was a bit hesitant, because I didn't know a lot about the program she wanted me to introduce. It's called Math Homework Help and it's sponsored by TVO. Students can log in and they get a 'ticket'. When their number is up, the tutor helps them. There is a whiteboard that the tutor and student can both see, and there's audio. We posted a question on the board and the tutor wrote on the board and instructed us how to solve the problem. Students can log in from home and there are tutors there from 4:30-9:30 (I think those are the times). VERY effective and interactive program.

  1. It is impressive. Where else could you find such an opportunity to get a free tutor? It is, of course, a little different than a real person to person interaction however it’s better than nothing. When I was a student my teacher often assigned stronger students to tutor weaker students for one or two hours after classes. These days nobody practices this. In fact tutoring has become quite expensive and for this reason it is not available for many.
