A special thank you to the HWHL tutors, HMC Class of 2012
Homework Hotline would not be possible without the help of an extraordinary group of Harvey Mudd College students who joined Homework Hotline with great enthusiasm--and fear. With enthusiasm because they wanted to help students with their mathematics and science homework questions; and with fear because even though they had tutored in the past, tutoring over the phone was new to them.
This academic year, six HWHL tutors are graduating on May 13. Five of our tutors have been part of the program since its inception in the spring of 2010, and four of them are currently mentor tutors.
We congratulate them and thank them for helping make Homework Hotline a success.
