Live Homework Help!

Anyone with a library card may log-on to monroetwplibrary.org, go to the Live Homework Help link, select a grade level from K – 12, College Intro, or Adult Learner, and pick from one of 12 subjects, depending on your grade level. You will then enter an Online Classroom where a certified subject expert tutor will work with you in a chat window, on a drawing board, and through website and file sharing, to resolve your educational challenge.

The service is available from 2:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. daily in English and Spanish. The library’s live, online service is provided by Tutor.com, the largest online tutoring company with more than 2,000 certified, background checked tutors. Tutor.com recently won a Parent’s Choice Gold Award.
