We have had many calls from students at Elderberry Elementary School, Landmark Middle School, Giano Middle School, Ranch Hills Middle School and Nuview Bridge Early College High School, among others. Welcome, we're happy to hear from you! Each month, we will introduce you to two of our Homework Hotline tutors. Familiar Voice will feature one of our longtime tutors and Fresh Voice will feature one of our new tutors.

What do you enjoy about tutoring? It is fun to help someone get excited about the same stuff that I am excited about. It is also fun to help people understand really cool concepts in science and math.
Why should students call the Homework Hotline? Students should call the Homework Hotline so they can better understand the material which they are covering in class. Life is a lot easier when you have someone to discuss complications with, because we can provide different and unique perspectives on the problem.

What do you enjoy about tutoring?
Science is really fun. I want to help everyone understand and love science!
Why should students call the Homework Hotline?
We help the students by guiding them in the right direction so they can figure the problem out by themselves. It not only helps them finish their homework but also builds their learning skills for other topics in the future.
