For students who are stuck in a rut and need immediate one-on-one help, www.tutor.com was created to provide free tutoring services in English and Spanish. They offer support in a variety of subjects including but not limited to geometry, algebra, physics, and biology. All it takes is a San Diego Library card. I assumed students who could access the free tutoring services would have to be residents of San Diego. However, there is no residential restriction. To obtain a library card, visit www.sandiego.gov/public-library. I think this is a great service; it is simple to use and accessible to students across the country. There are not many corporations that would team up and fund a service for students without asking for something in return.
