Online tutoring available for middle, high school students
Students in grades 8-12 can now access free tutoring programs through a new state partnership with schoolhouse.world, according to State Rep. Beau Baird (R-Greencastle).
The online resource provides help with SAT preparation, math courses and advanced placement (AP) classes. Tutors are vetted, trained and monitored.
The program was launched by Khan Academy founder Sal Khan in response to learning disruptions caused by COVID-19. Khan Academy is a non-profit organization which works to provide free education opportunities around the world.
“A good education is part of the foundation Hoosier students need for a more secure and positive future,” Baird said. “This is a great resource for those who are still recovering from the recent disruptions in school.”
Students can connect with live, small-group tutoring through Zoom at no cost, with sessions focused on SAT reading, writing and math, including pre-algebra, algebra, geometry, trigonometry, pre-calculus, calculus and statistics. Support is also available for AP courses, including AP Calculus, AP Statistics, AP Chemistry, AP Biology, AP Physics and AP Computer Science.
Seniors can access free SAT practice resources through Khan Academy and College Board at khanacademy.org and collegeboard.org, respectively. These programs provide sample questions, instant feedback, video lessons and full-length practice tests.
