Online Tutoring for College Students

Fifteen public two-year and four-year colleges created the Ohio eTutoring Collaborative in late 2009 with the hopes of saving money while providing more tutoring services for their students. More than 70,000 Ohio college students have access to free online tutoring in math, calculus, statistics and writing. Synchronous sessions with math tutors are offered every day of the week from 9 a.m. until 10 p.m. Students can post eQuestions or they can enter an eChat room to work with a tutor directly utilizing video, audio, eChat (instant messaging-like dialogue), and a whiteboard. Papers can be uploaded for an asynchronous review by a writing tutor. Trained tutors answer questions, point to areas of concern, and provide "next steps" in the writing process.
