Maybe. Of course, keeping in mind that with tutoring you often get what you pay for, there are a few resources for individuals seeking free tutoring for their students. In addition, many schools and libraries offer free tutoring services, so contact those in your area for specific details.
Websites: Although there isn’t much free help available online for reading or writing tutors, there are a few math resources available. Both Algebra Online and Free Math Help are clearing-house style resources for older students who need help with mathematics. They both offer one-on-one and group message-board interaction, as well as links to mini-lessons and advice on how to use a graphing calculator.
Funded: Under the No Child Left Behind (NCLB) act, there are hundreds of thousands of dollars of untapped resources for families to pay for tutoring and academic support. However, these funds are only available to students attending schools that are not meeting their NCLB growth targets for test scores. To find out more, or to see if your student qualifies, read Extra Help for Student Success, published by the U.S. Department of Education. Contact them at 877-4-ED-PUBS or edpubs.org.
