Tutor.com is available to anyone with a library card
All Wake County Public Libraries cardholders can now access free, on-demand, online tutoring thanks to a new partnership with Tutor.com. This initiative offers students, parents and adult learners in Wake County access to personalized, expert help in a wide range of subjects, many in Spanish.
"Offering this service to our residents is a significant step toward providing equitable access to educational resources across Wake County," said Susan Evans, vice chair, Wake County Board of Commissioners. "This initiative reflects our commitment to supporting lifelong learning and ensuring that every student, regardless of their background or circumstances, has the tools they need to succeed.”
Through Tutor.com, library cardholders can connect via two-way text-chat with professional tutors who provide one-on-one assistance in subjects like math, science, English, social studies and more. Whether its help with homework, preparing for tests or improving writing skills, Tutor.com offers tailored support for learners of all ages. All of Tutor.com’s most popular subjects are available in Spanish.
“Providing access to Tutor.com aligns perfectly with our mission to support lifelong learning in our community,” said Theresa Theall, senior library manager for Collection Development Services. “We are thrilled to offer this valuable resource to our patrons, helping students excel in their studies and empowering adult learners to achieve their goals.”
The site features interactive tools, including a two-way whiteboard, code editor, text editor and graph paper — plus a range of drawing tools, graphing calculator, formulas and file sharing. Users can access practice tests, study guides and more to prepare for exams.
Wake County Public Libraries staff worked with the Wake County Public School System to ensure that all teachers, parents and students will learn about how Tutor.com can help achieve success for every student in Wake County.
