Child, Youth and School Services offers free online tutoring. Need homework help, have a paper due, want to take a practice test, need to speak directly to a live tutor in a one-to-one, 24/7 online classroom? These services and many others are available through Tutor.com, a free service for families and spouses of active, wounded, reserve component, National Guard and Army civilians (including survivors). Students of any age, in any grade – including kindergarten through 12th grade, college students and adult students – can get help in math, science, English and social studies.
How does it work? Army-affiliated students submit a one-time registration to obtain their CYSS pass code. Students can then use it to log in from home or from the CYSS Youth Technology Lab. They enter the grade level and subject they need help in and are then connected to the first available subject expert tutor in an online classroom. Students and tutors work together in an online classroom using controlled chat and an interactive white board. Students can send computer files, such as essays, to the tutor for review and assistance. They can also share educational websites. Log on to www.myarmyonesource.com/cyss_tutor to find out more about this free service for military families and to register.
