Life on Florida’s West Coast

Free Tutoring, right here at home

One common complaint from almost any parent of school-aged children si that the amount of homework kids have to muddle through these days is getting more and more cumbersome as the years go by.

Although a parent may have the best intention and really want to sit down and help their child with the homework being sent home, often things get in the way. There are busy schedules and long work hours. Also, parents often do not feel confident they can actually assist their kids with the actual subject matter.

Here in the Tampa Bay area, there is a free resource that is often overlooked. The Hillsborough County Public Library Cooperative pays an annual subscription fee to Tutor.com to bring Live Homework Help to their website at www.hcplc.org.

All a student needs is any computer with access to high-speed internet. The tutoring service is available from 2 p.m. to midnight seven days a week and offers help in math, science, social studies and English for grades 4 through 12 and college freshmen.
