ONLINE SCIENCE TUTORING

“ With Smarthinking

we are able

to offer online

tutoring in a

wide range

of disciplines

with extensive

operating hours.

Access to online

tutoring provides

help for students

who can’t take

advantage of

our on campus

resources during

the day—support

we simply could

not offer without

this partnership.

In addition

to expanded

access, feedback

demonstrates

that students are

extremely pleased

with the service

provided by

Smarthinking’s

educators.”

Tutors and students work on your assignments and your curriculum. Our tutors do not provide complete solutions—they guide students, with the goal of facilitating insight. Students gain the understanding to complete assignments on their own.

Smarthinking has won the prestigious CODiE Award for Best Instruction Solution for Students at Home,

given by the Software & Information Industry Association (SIIA). This award recognizes Smarthinking

as the best educational technology system to extend traditional learning outside the classroom.

This honor confirms Smarthinking’s mission that high quality academic support can be delivered

on demand, any time, via the internet.

“ This is a great

service. I didn’t

have to stop doing

my homework

to get the help that

I needed and the

tutor didn’t

do the work for

me. He helped

me to do it myself.

So now I am

better prepared

for my class.”
