Tutoring, anytime, any place, with HelpHub!



Through helphub.me, students will be connected with tutors and other students through messaging online and tutoring over phone calls. The use of technology in this resource makes asking for help and receiving help easy for students. Connecting to others through this forum can be much less intimidating than going up to a teacher or staff member and express one’s struggles. No matter the subject, HelpHub will provide students with a tutor to help them master any subject. Math, English, English as a second language, science, business, humanities, test prep, programming, and history… the list of subjects with tutors at students’ disposal is an incredible resource for students. This platform provides students with access to academic scholars from around the world and there is no contractual obligation within HelpHub, it is pay as you go which is convenient for students as their needs change. However, this resource is only available through selected schools. There are 1,500 schools that can access HelpHub; schools would benefit from partnering with this resource because it would be valuable for students so they can learn at their own pace at any time in any place, and it is valuable for teachers because they will have more time to provide feedback and create lessons for the students since they do not need to provide as much after school assistance. A really cool part about HelpHub is that you can become a tutor yourself if you do not require the help, and many people would attest to helping someone else actually enhances your own comprehension of the topic. Overall, it would behoove all students, faculty, and staff to have access this this resource and the integration of this technology into education is a positive contributor to student success.
