How it Works
Nebraska K-12 students who attend any Nebraska school have free access to online tutoring with a qualified Tutor in English, math, science, and social studies. Parents must first register their student(s) once the program secures funding and is operational again.
How to Schedule an Appointment
Parents must initially register their student(s) before they can receive tutoring services. Once registered, students can request pre-scheduled appointments with a Tutor or log in and request on-demand tutoring to be connected with the next Tutor available in the queue. Students should provide homework for which they wish to receive help or topics that they would like to cover.
