Starting Aug. 27, Pierce County Library System will offer free Live Homework Help. The online homework will be using IM (or instant messaging) to help students in real time.

Professionally, trained and experienced tutors will help students in 4^th through 12^th grades with math, science, English and social studies.

Through Live Homework Help, the tutor sees the grade level, subject and student’s question and the student sees the tutor’s first name and last initial. The tutor is not allowed to share personal or identifying information. 

Tutor.com, an award-winning tutoring company, launched Live Homework Help in 1999. Since then, 1,600 public libraries have offered the service. In Washington State, Kitsap, Sno-Isle, King County and Liberty Lake Libraries offer it.  

With their Pierce County Library card, students may get free Live Homework Help every day, 3-10 p.m.
