Homework Kansas

Homework Kansas is a free program for 4th - 12th grade students and students taking college introductory classes. It provides one-on-one online access to expert tutors from 4pm - 11pm daily from home, school or the public library. It also provides Spanish-speaking tutors from 4pm - 9pm Sunday through Thursday.

Subject area that are available for help include:
Math: elementary, algebra I, algebra II, trigonometry and calculus
Science: elementary, earth science, biology, chemistry and physics
Social Studies: American History, World History and Political Science
English: spelling, grammar, book reports and essay writing

Students can upload essays for proof reading, tutors can suggest websites for students but a student cannot wonder past those websites during their tutor sessions online. Students are asked to rate the tutor at the end of each session on how beneficial their experience was. In a report by the Live Homework Help Program, during the 2005-2006 school year, students completed one million live homework sessions. Over 90% of the students who completed the post-session survey reported having their self-confidence improve, completed their assignments and had their grades improve.

The tutors are certified teachers, retired teachers and people working on degrees. Each tutor applicant goes through a third party background check. Tutors are selected randomly to prevent a student and a tutor from developing a bond or a relationship online.

Access to this program is the result of the Kansas Legislators who supported this worthy project.

A Kansas Library Card or KanEd password is required to setup an account, which can be done through the public library or school library.
