SANTA MARIA — Free virtual academic tutors are now available to SMJUHSD students 24/7 and 361 days a year.
The district recently partnered with Tutor.com to help young people with homework, assignment completion, essays and papers. It’s available for most subjects and in Spanish and English for core subjects. Students can also receive written feedback on rough drafts.
“I think tutor.com is very beneficial,’’ said Carlissa Solorio, a senior at SMHS. “We don’t have to show our faces and help is there 24/7 whenever we need it. I feel excited about using Tutor.com.’’
Practice quizzes in many subjects and tutoring on the SAT and ACT are part of the program too, according to Interim I.T. Director and Director of Career Technical Education Paul Robinson.
“This effort will help our students succeed during challenging and changing times,’’ Robinson said. “It really levels the playing field in terms of bringing help into our students homes at any and all hours.’’
Students utilize their canvas account via their regular classes or their advisement class to talk to the qualified tutors.
