OnlineTutoringandHomeworkHelp:
Wenatchee High School has partnered with an online tutoring service to provide students with another opportunity for 1-on-1 homework help. This service allows students to work with a tutor at any time during the day or night (24/7). The service provides support for over 40 subject areas including all AP courses, and you will find that Spanish speaking tutors are available in math, science and social studies. When students login to the service, the amount of time they work with a tutor is deducted from the total hours that we have purchased. The time deducted is the same regardless of the subject area students choose, or the time of day students are accessing the service. So, we ask that the time is used wisely. The service may be used on a computer, tablet or smartphone and all correspondence is recorded within their system for the purpose of student safety. If you and/or your student is interested, use the following login information to begin. The website address is: www.tutor.com/whs Username: seven-digit student ID number -- Example: 0403154 Password: seven-digit student ID number -- Example: 0403154
