Today, qualified online tutors can also be available to students 24/7 for students who need on-demand homework help, have trouble with a particular concept, or need that extra boost to successfully pass an Advanced Placement (AP) course.
"Online learning opens opportunities for all students to access rigorous, academically-challenging courses," said Susan Patrick, President and CEO of NACOL. "Ensuring every student has strong academic support and personalized instruction through online tutoring is rapidly growing as an important innovation in K-12 education and online learning."
