Free Online Tutoring through Tutor.com/gcpl
Our students have the academic help they need with Tutor.com/gcpl. Students can get one-on-one online tutoring in any math, science, social studies, and language arts subject. Live, online tutoring support is available daily through the GCPS partnership with Gwinnett County Public Library. In addition, students can receive “drop-off support,” 24-7 by uploading a document or a math problem for tutor feedback that will be reviewed and returned at a later time. Students can log in with their student number and the month and day of their birthday (MMDD). See the tutorial video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x9xBJDqb7sw
