TUTORING OPPORTUNITIES:
The tutor list has been compiled as a service for parents and students. The school district offers this as a list of individuals interested in providing tutoring services. Unit 5 schools assume no responsibility in setting fees or conditions of employment. Actual employment of tutors will be established through agreement of the parents and students being served and the tutor.
BPL Provides Free Tutoring for the New School Year (in English and Spanish)
The Bloomington Public Library has contracted with Tutor.com to provide free, one-on-one tutoring with certified, professional tutors in several subject areas. This tutoring service is being offered to those who possess a library card issued by Bloomington Public Library. Those interested in using the tutoring service can do so daily from 3 to 11 p.m. from either a home computer or one of the library’s public access computers.
The service, offered in both English and Spanish, is geared toward all levels of study in three different age groups: K-12 Students; College Students; Adults. Tutors and students work in an interactive online classroom with access to whiteboards, drawing tools, instant messaging and file sharing. At the conclusion of a session, the student can print the whiteboards, print a transcript of the session and/or have the conversation sent to an email account.
