Need advice/referrals for a "homework tutor" for 9th grader

My son is going into 9th grade next fall. We have gone back and forth on getting him a writing tutor, signing him up for Sylvan Learning Center (decided against it) or maybe a tutor for writing with some math mixed in. But then my husband and I came up with an idea thats more of a "homework tutor", someone who could guide him and help him with homework projects as needed, and when there is nothing urgent needing to be done with school assignments/projects, they could work with him on honing writing skills, math skills...just his academic skills that need some extra practice. 

In 8th grade we have spent the whole year trying to figure out exactly what his needs are because his grades have seriously slipped. We have talked to his teachers and it seems he has a horrible time organizing himself, keeping his projects straight, finishing assignments etc (he is on an IEP for ADD and disgraphia). It has become a battle at home and none of us are benefiting from this kind of stress in the household. Kids tend to work way better with tutors and coaches than they do with parents, so we think he could really use something like a academic coach/tutor to help him. 

Even though we are heading towards summer, wed like to have a tutor through the summer as well, to keep up his skills before he starts 9th grade. 

Would love advice and/or referrals if anyone can guide us in this direction. 

I wholeheartedly recommend Shari Simburg as a writing tutor/educational therapist for kids 4th-10th grades. Along with writing skills, Shari helps with reading comprehension, study skills and time management with long term assignments. Shari started working with my son when he was 10 yrs. old and continues to work with him as an 8th grader. My son initially struggled with some anxiety around writing and Shari has helped him overcome this challenge. My son has executive function/attentional issues and needs a lot of help with organization. Shari breaks down writing assignments into manageable chunks and helps support my son in a warm and nurturing manner. Shari has helped my son be a more confident and skilled writer and always inspires my son to think creatively outside of the box. Shari is responsible, organized and willing to put in the extra time when my son is struggling. Shari can be contacted at (510)649-7712 or shar.simburg [at] gmail.com (shar[dot]simburg[at]gmail[dot]com) . Please feel free to contact me at kdwinick [at] gmail.com (kdwinick[at]gmail[dot]com) for any questions.

Study skill and organization tutor for hs junior.

I am looking for a patient, practical, compassionate tutor to teach study skill, homework strategy, and organization to my high school junior son. Ideal tutors must be positive, encouraging, and experienced.

My son is an easy going, relaxed, and kind boy, who loves animation and art. He is also a diligent student, who wants to maintain good grades. However, he does not have a good study skill. He is not really good at planning his schedule, both for the day and also for big projects which require longer time to complete. He is also not so good at evaluating his strategy of completing homework, and quite often, takes the way which may take longer to complete, and he stays up until 1am to 2am routinely, just to have his daily homework done. We think there are things that he can learn and improve, so he can gain more sleep.

Due to his past medical issues, we know that his memory processing speed is slightly slower than usual. It is also hard for him to follow complicated instructions too, so instructions need to be broken down. He is not also keen to small details so certain subjects (such as physics) can be hard for him. He often makes careless mistakes with tests. I wish that someone can teach him a learning strategy, so his hard work can be paid off. We live in Lafayette, so we are looking for someone on this side of the tunnel. We need someone who can come to our house, so the tutor can also help him set up his desk and filing system more properly.

Not sure if he will come to Lafayette, but my high school son is working with Kevin Arnold http://berkeleycommunitytutor.com/ for study skills and organization. They meet once a week at a cafe. Kevin goes over his assignments for the week, they review his planner and all this classes on powerschool. Kevin helps him make a plan for what to work on in the coming week. He has my son send him a photo every day of his planner showing assignments written down. My son comes home from school talking about upcoming assignments and what he needs to do today. He didn't do this before. Kevin is very personable and relates well to teenagers. My son's friend is working with him too, and both boys like him. mom of BHS freshman

Heather Sweeney has been working with D for two years now, and she is fantastic. I called her when my hardworking daughter with ADHD hit a bump in AP US History in her Junior year of High School. At first she said she had no room, but after hearing our story she showed, not for the last time, her level of compassion by saying,'' I want to help her''. She comes to our house, charges very reasonable rates, and has helped D with study and note taking skills, writing, test prep and much more. She is funny, patient, smart and caring. D sees her as a friend and looks forward to their sessions. Also enjoyable are the ''tribal dinners'' when many of Heather's students have a pot luck together and have a chance to share stories. My daughter made it into her dream college and we owe much of this to Heather. Contact info: hthrsweeney [at] gmail.com Robyn

We found Matt Baldwin from another recommendation on BPN and he has been a SERIOUS help to our teenage son as a homework, writing and organizational skills tutor. Working together this last year we have seen considerable improvement in our son's overall academic situation - test scores up, more consistent with homework, better attitude, etc. Our son can be quite spacey and Matt has been very patient and helpful in keeping him on track. You can reach him at 831-915-3470 or baldwinunlimited [at] gmail.com Polly M

Hi, I just wanted to say to everybody what a great tutor Adam Snider is. Found him through a recommendation from another tutor on BPN and since then heC,bs done a great job with our teenage son. Great with organization, homework help, study strategies, etc. He is an especially strong writer and has really helped our son with his essay writing skills (something that he really struggles with). His email is adamsnider5 [at] gmail.com Mary

I just wanted to share with any parents looking for tutors the positive experience that we've had with Matt Baldwin. Our 11 year old son has always struggled with academics and was recently diagnosed with ADD. We found Matt through a recommendation and scheduled him to start coming for tutoring twice a week.

In the six months that they have worked together we've witnessed a great improvement in our son's overall performance and attitude towards school, especially in English - in which he had a particularly hard time. Matt's approach to tutoring work is relaxed and he is especially strong on reading, English composition, homework assistance, organizational strategies, and creating an overall sense of motivation. He keeps the sessions on track but never in a rigid way. Our son actually looks forward to their time together.

Matt is a Cal grad and is working on a master's in psychology. He is also a musician and gives guitar lessons - good at that too! Highly recommended.

His number is 831-915-3470. Email: baldwinunlimited [at] gmail.com Kat

I would like to recommend Molly Gales as a tutor of high school aged children. My daughter entered high school last fall and had a lot of trouble adjusting to the amount of work and responsibility that came with it. She was a straight A student before she started high school but her grades plummeted because she was having trouble keeping track of assignments, could not properly prepare for tests, and was overwhelmed. We were at our wit's end, having to nag her about every assignment. We discovered Molly through Oakland Tech's parent listserv and hired her as an organization/study skills tutor. In the past 3 months, Molly has helped turn our daughter's grades around, and also given her the skills and confidence boost to make her feel like she can manage all of the work. Molly has also helped our daughter rewrite essays, plot out homework strategies in the short and long term, and given her advice on how to approach teachers for help. She is also a strong advocate for our daughter and will directly contact teachers to keep them informed of the amount of work that is being put in. her contact info: molly.gales [at] gmail.com Jennifer T.

Need organization/study skills coach for 14 yr old son asap

Our son has poor organizational/study skills and is really struggling with staying on top of things now that he is in high school and his grades have really dropped. He won't take any help from us but I remember reading posts from parents maybe a year ago saying their kids had similar issues and that they had found a great person who came to the house and worked with the kid on organizational/study skills and really turned things around. I can't find the posts and would greatly appreciate any recommendations for organization/study skill tutors/coaches(or other advice) from parents who've faced a similar situation. Thanks very much in advance.

My son worked with Nick at SOS http://www.sos4students.com/, and he was fantastic. He really understood my son and his organizational challenges, but pushed him to do his best. I highly recommend the company. Carrie

I heartily recommend Linda Lawton. She has helped my 15 year old daughter immensely with getting organized, managing her time, and developing solid study skills. My daughter has gone to Linda's office near El Cerrito Plaza for one-on-one sessions with Linda, as well as for supervised small-group study hall sessions after school, and both have been incredibly helpful. The website is www.centerofattentionandlearning.org and Linda's phone is 510-559-3110. anonymous

Dear Parents of Teens, My son is attending Oakland Tech and first marking period he had such troubles keeping up in school/not motivated to succeed and frustrated, well, that has all changed with a great tutor in Berkeley who teaches inspiration and organization skills for a child like mine who could not get the ball off the ground. Molly Gales is a specialist in her field and I can say enough how much she has helped...molly.gales @gmail.com Kerry

Homework helper needed for middle school child

We are looking for someone to come to our house two days a week in the late afternoon or early evening to help our middle school child with homework, in particular writing and general orgaization. We would appreciate your recommendations or ideas on how to find someone. Thanks

If you are looking for someone to help your child with organization I highly recommend Nancy Chin. She will not come to your house, your child will have to go to her office (Rockridge Market Hall or Walnut Creek). Nancy did wonders for my daughter and I am forever grateful! Her website is www.stepbystep4success.com. . Organization goes a long way!

Anne Clarke is a wonderful, experienced tutor who worked with my daughter for several years. I found her approach to consider the whole person- she understands and respects the individual student. She is warm, interested, and very reliable. You can reach her at 219-476-5014, or anneclarke106 [at] gmail.com . Amy

Re: Tutor/homework helper needed ASAP I didn't read the original post but wanted to jump in with a recommendation of Kevin Arnold, the tutor who has worked with my son throughout his high school years. Originally I wanted someone who would be a sort of homework helper or coach so my son would stay on task with his assignments. Kevin has proven to be so much more. Although his manner is very personable and casual, he is strongly grounded in academics. He has been able to help my son learn to articulate complex ideas for essays in both history and English. Kevin never makes my son feel rushed, but they do cover a lot of ground during each session. In my son's words, Kevin is the perfect balance of enthusiasm and focus. Kevin can be reached at 510 495-7923 Debbie

I highly recommend the tutor my sons have worked with over the past 3+ years. His name is Kevin Arnold (email: kevinarnold333 [at] gmail.com ). He came highly recommended by other BPN members, and we initially spoke at great lengths after my son was evaluated to rule out ADHD. (While meds were an option, his pediatrician recommended an organizational tutor as a start). Kevin was GREAT! He is warm and friendly, and my son related to him immediately. Kevin began working with him at the beginning of his 7th grade year after switching to a large public middle school. Under his 'care', my son gained confidence as a student, developed excellent writing skills, and was able to prioritize his homework load- something he had much difficulty accomplishing. He was no longer overwhelmed and frustrated by the work, even as more was demanded of him in middle school.

My sons see Kevin as 'hip and cool', and relate very well to him. He is an accomplished musician, and he even worked with them on guitar and drum lessons. He recently began working with my other son, as well, on his high school history research paper, and has helped him learn how to be a better writer.

I cannot say enough about his skills as a tutor, not to mention, mentor. Kevin is also very patient, and has a knack for fostering independence, and critical thinking skills. I am impressed by how my son has grown as a student: once frustrated and overwhelmed by the challenge, he is now able to master the demands of high school with more ease. I attribute this to his work with Kevin over the years. I am relieved that I didn't need to rely on medication, but instead finding him a tutor who had the patience and expertise to work with him.

Kevin is also very flexible with his schedule, something I very much appreciated, given our hectic schedules. DM

Leslie Absher is my high school son's academic coach. She works well (and gets along well) with him and is professional and caring. She's worked with him for 3 1/2 years helping him organize himself for school, and assisting him with his homework and long term projects. Leslie keeps us updated on his progress and works with us on strategies for helping him with his work. I highly recommend Leslie as a personable and effective tutor. Nancy

I'd like to recommend the work of Shari Simburg, educational consultant and tutor. She worked with both our children throughout middle school, helping them to develop organizational and study skills, while working with them on their homework in all subjects. Given the ages of our children, we worked with her for 6 years, and came to know her and her work well. Both of our children have been diagnosed with ADHD, and Shari was first recommended to us as one of a group of strong tutors by the psychologist who did testing with our older child. Shari understands the nature of this disability and how to help kids organize, center, and be more productive. She also does an excellent job interfacing with the school and was, for example, active in contacting the learning specialist at the school, and subject matter teachers to follow up on issues and to find out about homework, especially large assignments.

We also really liked that once each semester she would schedule a parent conference to discuss goals and progress, and to invite our feedback. I've found these meetings helpful, for example in the skills she applies to helping us keep in mind details from psychologist's report. This practice has helped us over the years to remember the nature and scope of the issues that the assessment had uncovered, which has allowed us to be better advocates for our children. She recently moved her office, and is now near Monterey Market. I think the new space is quite comfortable. Overall, our family recommends Shari most highly. She has made a strong impact on our children's work habits and success in school. We left only when our children were high school age so that they could get more targeted tutoring in specific subjects (e.g., French, chemistry). - Berkeley parent of 2

Educational Therapist Shari Simburg has worked with my son for several years--now 11, he has entered middle school with the organizational, study and problem-solving skills he needs for the new mountain of homework he now has. Shari has been invaluable in prodding our son along from unfocused, fidgety elementary kid to more focused middle schooler. We expect to continue working with her through middle school... beth

Educational Consultant for help with 14yo's organization

I'm looking for an educational consultant to work with my daughter on organization and homework management. She's 14, starts high school in the fall, and was recently diagnosed with ADHD, inattentive type. She's extremely bright and social --needs to work with someone who is experienced, engaging and with whom she can connect. Thanks in advance for any recommendations. Anon

I am sure you will find the name of many competent educational consultants. I am a teacher with ADHD (on meds to stay on-track for my students). One thing I do and encourage many students to do whether diagnosed or not is to get a clipboard - the see through type that has a small flat type of spring at the top. Attach EVERYTHING during the day to that clipboard. At the bottom of the clipboard (under the pile of papers) should be three months of calendar pages printed off the computer. Only three months or it is overwhelming. Highlight in color when something is due on the calendar (for assignments that are more than 1 day assignments) or make a small highlighted stripe at the top of assignments received that day that are due the next day.

Remember everything stays on that clipboard. At home if there is a problem with papers getting misplaced or lost, do the work as it is attached to the clipboard. It may have creases - for now that's okay. Go through the clipboard every day with your daughter until she can do this herself. Even after she can do this herself, stay near her while she does it as you can see from doodles, drawings and writing as to whether she is on track, off track or whether any medication is still working. ADHD Creative and Bright - those are the upsides

Vanessa Roth (owner of Scholar's Station) has much expertise and experience in this area. She has been asked to present Study Skills workshops at high schools, and has helped many students develop techniques for organizing their tasks. I recommend her highly. Her tutors are graduates of UC Berkeley, Stanford, and other excellent schools, and she matches tutors to students very carefully. She designs a program customized for your child's specific needs, the tutor comes to your home, and it's less expensive than many home-based services. Her website is www.ScholarsStation.com. Good luck! Susan

My daughter worked with Nancy Chin this past school year. Once Nancy got her organized, she did better with focus and managing her HW time. Nancy also collaborated with her teachers to set realistic expectations and goals. I highly recommend Nancy, her website is www.stepbystep4success.com TM

Anon, I would suggest Student Organizational Services (sos4students.com). They do a very good job with our students at Orinda Academy with organization, study skills, time management, test taking etc. They also have a preparation for high school program at the end of the summer. Orinda Academy (www.orindaacademy.org) also provides a high school prep program at summer school and an excellent program in the fall for students who learn differently. Ron

I can highly recommend Ashley Coburn, Ph.D. She's in Berkeley and Walnut Creek. You can reach her at 510-384-6069. Our daughter is similar in age and learning profile and she did really great work with Dr. Coburn this last year. Best wishes.

Try Leslie Absher at lmabsher [at] earthlink.net - she works exclusively with teens around organization, etc. Lisa

Tutor for study skills with background in dyslexia & ADHD

Looking for a recommendation for a tutor or ed therapist in the lamorinda area. My daughter has dyslexia and ADHD. We are wanting a tutor for study skills and help with her history class. Thank you for your help! Ann

Organizational skills for high school freshman

Hi there: My daughter is at Oakland Tech and is doing very well as a freshman. We are pre-Paidea and gearing up for a bunch more work next year. I want to make sure she has the very best organizational skills as well as someone to fall back on for help when she needs it. Can anyone make a recommendation for us? Thanks. concerned mom

We just recommended Ashley Coburn PhD to another parent last week. Dr. Coburn is doing great work with our high school daughter on organization, study skills, project management, and also working on writing and math, which she struggles with. My wife and I highly recommend her. Her # is (510) 384-6069. Best wishes. John and Gail

I highly recommend Phyllis Koppelman at Strategies for Learning (www.strategiesforlearning.com). Her office is on Grand Ave. in Oakland. She is kind, smart and incredibly experienced. She will see things in your child that you didn't think anyone else could see. She'll also see things you didn't. She creates a strong relationship with the kids & teens she works with. Getting teens organized is one of her strengths. Phone: 510-835-0466 Feel free to tell her I was singing her praises. Dawn

Homework help for two high school students

My son and his close friend, both sophomores at Albany High, are in need of some after school help. Both boys are very intelligent but need some help with managing their work loads. We are looking for someone who has good organizational skills who could help them (with the help of the school's online homework tracking system) organize and stay on top of their assignments. I am looking for someone who could work with the boys a couple of days a week in either our house in Richmond Annex or the other family's house in Albany. I think the kids would work best with a male college or grad student, someone they can relate to. We need someone who can help with Chemistry, Geometry and Algebra. Please contact me if this describes you or if you know someone. Leigh

Our tutor's name is Emmanuel Hale - he is a UCB graduate. He's been tutoring my daughter for awhile now. He comes to our home. My daughter is only 9, but I'm sure that Emmanuel would be great with High School age kids also. His e-mail is eman.hale [at] gmail.com Janet

Tutor needed for 15-year-old's study habits

My 15 yr old boy has had trouble with school since the 6th grade when the work load went beyond what he could naturally take in and began to require studying. Currently, he is finishing his freshman year in Biology with a D, yet his teacher has asked that my son be in his Chemistry AP class next year because he is the best student in the class!! In Geometry he is going to get either a C or a D, yet his teacher said she would write a letter recommending him for the math honors class. The boy is very bright, but when he sits down to study, he really does not know how to tackle the studying. And I am at a loss as to how to teach him how to study! Do you know of a teacher or tutor in the Walnut Creek/Pleasasnt Hill area who can teach studying? Not just the habits of a good student, but how to study. perplexed parent of 15yr

Your son sounds like mine. When the work is ''easy'' he doesn't do so well; the more challenging, the better he does. It has something to do with the way his brain works. He also had trouble when the need to study came along. With math he could immediately know the answer but not know how he knew. We got a handle on this when he was tested at Strategies for Learning. They are in Oakland so maybe you don't want to go there for tutoring. But you might start by talking to them about your options. The number is 510-835-0466. My child was coached in study skills there. Mom of a 2009 Grad!

Organizational tutor for 13 year old boy

My son is 13 and very bright. Unfortuntely, his organizational skills are not good. This may be coupled with a motivation problem as well. It is not a learning disability, or cognitive deficit in any way. He has problems with time managment, getting papers in on time, turning in homework on time, etc. The high school he will be attending recommended we seek a tutor to help him get organized and work with this person 1-2 times a week. Anyone have any good recommendations? We live in Crocker Highlands just off Lakeshore.

Sorry I didn't see your original post. My daughter is seeing Nancy Chin at Step By Step. Initially it was a little rough (my daughter has ADHD and set in her ways) but once she experienced success, her confidence soared and she was less anxious. In addition to organization, Nancy is working with her on scheduling (which includes homework), study skills, and follow through. Nancy communicates with my daughter regularly throughout the week, and with her teachers and myself as well. Although this whole process has longer than expected, my daughter is making progress, her grades have improved, and there is less stress on all of us. Good luck in finding help for your son. Nancy's info is www.stepbystep4success.com Tim

Try www.sos4students and see if Student Organizational Services has what you need. Beth Samuelson, who runs it, has lots of experience in dealing with exactly what you are describing. They have workshops and individual tutoring. You can call them and see what they think would be best for your son. Good luck! Debbie

We found a wonderful organizational tutor who helped our high school daughter. Karen Baughmann ( baughmankaren [at] gmail.com ) had lots of practical advice and tips which helped our daughter get a handle on her school workload, and also on some of her individual assignments, such as essays/papers. She has an office in downtown Berkeley, so don't know if that's doable for you, but I strongly recommend her. Karen

Hiya. My son is 14, attention issued, and very much disorganized. He works with a great tutor, Parissa E, who runs Top Rank Tutoring. She can be reached at 562.397.7794. Parissa not only helps him with organization, but she edits his docs with him, helps with his Spanish, math...she covers it all. She's very supportive, but also big on self-responsibility. I recommend her highly, and I'm sure my son would, too. LL

Homework help for son with adhd.

We are looking for recommendations for someone to help our 13 year old son, who has ADHD, handle his homework better. His grades are always lowered due to missing or incomplete assigments. We've worked with him at home for years with no improvment -- the minute we back off he does much worse -- he doesn't seem to find any system that really works for him. We live in Walnut Creek and would prefer someone relatively close, but would travel further if necessary. Thanks!

My son who has ADHD worked with a local tutor and it seemed helpful. The guy is very nice and reasonably priced. His name is Jon Rothstein and his phone number is 497-5111. I also recommend the Neuro-psychologist, Tina Gutterman, who does testing to see if there are any other learning issues/psych issues besides ADHD. Her number is (415) 440-4713. She is in Moraga. feel free to email me personally julie

Nancy Chin with Step by Step is an amazing academic coach and can really help- she gives the kids a system to help organize their academic life. I have seen her work miracles. www.stepbystep4success.com nancy@stepbystep4success 510 384-1909 rachel

Homework Coach for 5th grader w ADD

I am the parent of a 5th grader who attends a private school in El Cerrito. He is very smart but struggles with ADD. Ritalin is helping with attention tremendously, but he still needs help with organization, getting homework done, pacing himself, etc. As a professional psychologist, I've tried various approaches but I am still ''mom'' and annoying to him! He used to work with a male reading coach thru Reading Revolution 2 yrs ago, but he moved back East. My son really liked him, felt challenged by him & not in any way infantalized. He was also ''cool'' - which mom isn't. Any suggestions? uncool Kensington mom

Someone to help 7th grader get homework done

I have a daughter in 7th grade at Albany Middle School who is struggling with getting her daily homework assignments done. I am looking for someone (maybe an Albany H.S. student) who could meet with her for an hour or so a day for two or three days a week to provide encouragement, keep her focussed, and make sure she understands what she is doing. It isn't exactly tutoring (and I can't afford tutoring rates) more like a coach/friend. I can pay $15/hour, and am hoping to find someone soon! Thanks

Classroom Matters offers a great program for a terrific price: Unlimited Supervised Study. Mon-Thurs. from 4-8 PM (and weekends during finals), students may come at any time, any day for as often as they like, for a flat rate of $75 per week. A Supervisor is available to meet with each family to decide what would best work for each student, and develop a study plan if needed. Then, students come and check in with our Supervised Study Point Person, who will be there to answer questions and keep students focused. The atmosphere of the center is conducive to communal studying (louder than a library, but not nearly as loud as a cafe). CM also has wholesome snacks, water and a strong belief that food fuels the mind. To find out more about our Unlimited Supervised Study Program, please visit our website: http://www.classroommatters.com/program/study.htm Call 510-540-8646 to sign up!

Summer help for disorganized teen

My 13 year old boy is very bright but his grades have steadily been slipping because he cannot (will not?) stay on top of his homework. I am at my wit's end because no amount of micromanaging nor ''hands off'' allowing him to experience consequences has made a difference. I read with interest the discussion of unmotivated teens in this newsletter earlier in the month (I feel better knowing I'm not alone in this struggle!) And i have sent off for books on this. I feel as if I won't survive another year of this cycle of working to get him on track, him telling me he's on track, me getting calls from the teacher, him crying and saying he's sorry he'll do better, repeat until mom is crazy and he feels like crap. I'm not doing him any good at this point. My question: does anyone know of summer programs that are focused not just on academics (his grades are still passable) but in learning to be organized? HELP! Anon

Here are some terrific resources for a disorganized teen (I have one, too -- sigh): 1. Beth Samuelson, Student Organizational Services, 510- 531-4767. I think her site is sos4students.com. Highly recommended by teachers in our area. Does workshops kids enjoy, especially in the summer, and offers individual tutoring in organizational skills. 2. Organizing from the Inside Out for Teens -- a book by Julie Morgenstern and Jessi Morganstern-Colon. Lots of practical information such as a ''no-brainer toss list'' for papers to discard. Nancy

You might want to look into SOS (Student Organizational Services). They have workshops (in Orinda and Berkeley) and individual coaching to help students navigate the increased workload and expectations of middle school and high school. I have heard their director, Beth Samuelson, speak a couple of times and think she is very good. Their website is www.sos4students.com. Julie

Fortunately ,I heard about Classroom Matters through another family when our daughter entered her Sophomore year at BHS. She was struggling to organize her time and prioritize subjects in advance of testing. I arranged to have her meet once a week for English and Spanish help and a review of what was due, when and how much more needed to happen. She incorporated the tutoring and study skills into her routine with impressive results and I was incredibly relieved to have her look forward to sharing her concerns regularly with her tutor and getting the help she needed. In her junior year she needed additional tutoring for Math Analysis and the SAT 2s. It is great to have such a resource as Classroom Matters available. Karen

Hello all I need homework help for my middle schooler entering 7th grade. She went to Raskob Learning Center in the evening last school year which was pretty good, but pricey. She has ADD and she articulated to me that she needs help with the day to day school work. She has been tested and re-tested and does not qualify for anything from the school district that really seems to help. I have checked current recommendations on file and they did not pan out.

Kevin Arnold has been tutoring our 13-year old 8th grade son for the past several months and we are pleased with the results. They meet once a week for an hour and a half and spend time reviewing homework as well as working on writing and organization skills. Kevin, who is on the quiet side and low-key seems to connect well with our son, who finds the tutoring sessions helpful (and I'm surmising that he even enjoys them since he's never once complained). Kevin has been accomodating when we've had to change our regularly scheduled meeting time due to conflicts with sports activities.

Kevin's can be reached at 510-655-6612 or kevinarnold2004 [at] yahoo.com . Irma

Our 16 year old son, who has consistently had problems organizing and turning in his homework, has been seeing Kevin Arnold for homework tutoring for the past few months. Sam likes him and they've worked well together. Kevin is a gentle and compassionate guy, and although his approach to the work at hand seemed at times a bit dreamy, we did see results--more work turned in on time, and better grades as a result. Sam was always happy to go to the tutor, too! They met at the Royal Ground cafe on College. Reach Kevin at 510.655.6612 or kevinarnold2004 at yahoo.com Suzanne

I want to highly recommend Kristan Willits, as a tutor and personal problem-solver. She has provided invaluable support and insight when I have been struggling with massive and challenging papers (I study at UCB in the social sciences/ geography). She is very intuitive, and seems to always know exactly what is getting in the way of proceeding. She understands the learning process as it involves the whole person, emotionally, psychologically, intellectually. She has been a great support for me. Contact her by emailing kwillits AT earthlink.com or the website: www.kwlearning.com. Diana

My 7th grade daughter complains of being totally stressed out over her homework, and feels very over-programmed. Its a mystery to me since her homework, for the most part, is extremely easy for her. It does seem to take an inordinate amount of time, given how easy it is. So, it becomes very time consuming but with little other merit. She is a perfectionist and enjoys getting high grades. She does have after-school activities two afternoons a week. I am thinking that she would benefit (our household would in fact) by developing more efficiency in this area, but haven't a clue how to instruct her. Does anyone have experience with those tutoring centers (SCORE, etc...). Do they do this? Or are there good tutors that specialize in this area, perhaps more like homework coaches?

Re: the 7th grade daughter that needs some homework and study habit guidance....I don't think Score is what you want. There is a place on 9th at Dwight called Classroom Matters that does tutoring and supervised study for children that are in the 6th through 12th grade. We have used them for tutoring only, but you may want to check out the study part. Good luck.

Dec 2000 We asked Lynn Bernhardt, who also tutors English and writing skills, to coach our student in organizational and time management skills, with considerable success. She can be contacted at lbbernhardt AT hotmail.com. Joyce

Sat / act prep online guides and tips, the 5 best homework help websites (free and paid).

Other High School , General Education

Listen: we know homework isn’t fun, but it is a good way to reinforce the ideas and concepts you’ve learned in class. But what if you’re really struggling with your homework assignments?

If you’ve looked online for a little extra help with your take-home assignments, you’ve probably stumbled across websites claiming to provide the homework help and answers students need to succeed . But can homework help sites really make a difference? And if so, which are the best homework help websites you can use? 

Below, we answer these questions and more about homework help websites–free and paid. We’ll go over: 

• The basics of homework help websites
• The cost of homework help websites 
• The five best homework websites out there 
• The pros and cons of using these websites for homework help 
• The line between “learning” and “cheating” when using online homework help 
• Tips for getting the most out of a homework help website

So let’s get started! 

The Basics About Homework Help Websites–Free and Paid

Homework help websites are designed to help you complete your homework assignments, plain and simple. 

What Makes a Homework Help Site Worth Using

Most of the best sites allow users to ask questions and then provide an answer (or multiple possible answers) and explanation in seconds. In some instances, you can even send a photo of a particular assignment or problem instead of typing the whole thing out! 

Homework help sites also offer more than just help answering homework questions. Common services provided are Q&A with experts, educational videos, lectures, practice tests and quizzes, learning modules, math solving tools, and proofreading help. Homework help sites can also provide textbook solutions (i.e. answers to problems in tons of different textbooks your school might be using), one-on-one tutoring, and peer-to-peer platforms that allow you to discuss subjects you’re learning about with your fellow students. 

And best of all, nearly all of them offer their services 24/7, including tutoring! 

What You Should Should Look Out For

When it comes to homework help, there are lots–and we mean lots –of scam sites out there willing to prey on desperate students. Before you sign up for any service, make sure you read reviews to ensure you’re working with a legitimate company. 

A word to the wise: the more a company advertises help that veers into the territory of cheating, the more likely it is to be a scam. The best homework help websites are going to help you learn the concepts you’ll need to successfully complete your homework on your own. (We’ll go over the difference between “homework help” and “cheating” a little later!) 

You don't need a golden piggy bank to use homework help websites. Some provide low or no cost help for students like you!

How Expensive Are the Best Homework Help Websites?

First of all, just because a homework help site costs money doesn’t mean it’s a good service. Likewise, just because a homework help website is free doesn’t mean the help isn’t high quality. To find the best websites, you have to take a close look at the quality and types of information they provide! 

When it comes to paid homework help services, the prices vary pretty widely depending on the amount of services you want to subscribe to. Subscriptions can cost anywhere from $2 to $150 dollars per month, with the most expensive services offering several hours of one-on-one tutoring with a subject expert per month.

The 5 Best Homework Help Websites 

So, what is the best homework help website you can use? The answer is that it depends on what you need help with. 

The best homework help websites are the ones that are reliable and help you learn the material. They don’t just provide answers to homework questions–they actually help you learn the material. 

That’s why we’ve broken down our favorite websites into categories based on who they’re best for . For instance, the best website for people struggling with math might not work for someone who needs a little extra help with science, and vice versa. 

Keep reading to find the best homework help website for you! 

Best Free Homework Help Site: Khan Academy

• Price: Free!
• Best for: Practicing tough material 

Not only is Khan Academy free, but it’s full of information and can be personalized to suit your needs. When you set up your account , you choose which courses you need to study, and Khan Academy sets up a personal dashboard of instructional videos, practice exercises, and quizzes –with both correct and incorrect answer explanations–so you can learn at your own pace. 

As an added bonus, it covers more course topics than many other homework help sites, including several AP classes.

Runner Up: Brainly.com offers a free service that allows you to type in questions and get answers and explanations from experts. The downside is that you’re limited to two answers per question and have to watch ads. 

Best Paid Homework Help Site: Chegg

• Price: $14.95 to $19.95 per month
• Best for: 24/7 homework assistance  

This service has three main parts . The first is Chegg Study, which includes textbook solutions, Q&A with subject experts, flashcards, video explanations, a math solver, and writing help. The resources are thorough, and reviewers state that Chegg answers homework questions quickly and accurately no matter when you submit them.  

Chegg also offers textbook rentals for students who need access to textbooks outside of their classroom. Finally, Chegg offers Internship and Career Advice for students who are preparing to graduate and may need a little extra help with the transition out of high school. 

Another great feature Chegg provides is a selection of free articles geared towards helping with general life skills, like coping with stress and saving money. Chegg’s learning modules are comprehensive, and they feature solutions to the problems in tons of different textbooks in a wide variety of subjects. 

Runner Up: Bartleby offers basically the same services as Chegg for $14.99 per month. The reason it didn’t rank as the best is based on customer reviews that say user questions aren’t answered quite as quickly on this site as on Chegg. Otherwise, this is also a solid choice!

Best Site for Math Homework Help: Photomath

• Price: Free (or $59.99 per year for premium services) 
• Best for: Explaining solutions to math problems

This site allows you to t ake a picture of a math problem, and instantly pulls up a step-by-step solution, as well as a detailed explanation of the concept. Photomath also includes animated videos that break down mathematical concepts to help you better understand and remember them. 

The basic service is free, but for an additional fee you can get extra study tools and learn additional strategies for solving common math problems.

Runner Up: KhanAcademy offers in-depth tutorials that cover complex math topics for free, but you won’t get the same tailored help (and answers!) that Photomath offers. 

Best Site for English Homework Help: Princeton Review Academic Tutoring

• Price: $40 to $153 per month, depending on how many hours of tutoring you want 
• Best for: Comprehensive and personalized reading and writing help 

While sites like Grammarly and Sparknotes help you by either proofreading what you write via an algorithm or providing book summaries, Princeton Review’s tutors provide in-depth help with vocabulary, literature, essay writing and development, proofreading, and reading comprehension. And unlike other services, you’ll have the chance to work with a real person to get help. 

The best part is that you can get on-demand English (and ESL) tutoring from experts 24/7. That means you can get help whenever you need it, even if you’re pulling an all-nighter! 

This is by far the most expensive homework site on this list, so you’ll need to really think about what you need out of a homework help website before you commit. One added benefit is that the subscription covers over 80 other subjects, including AP classes, which can make it a good value if you need lots of help!  

Best Site for STEM Homework Help: Studypool

• Best for: Science homework help
• Price: Varies; you’ll pay for each question you submit

When it comes to science homework help, there aren’t a ton of great resources out there. The best of the bunch is Studypool, and while it has great reviews, there are some downsides as well. 

Let’s start with the good stuff. Studypool offers an interesting twist on the homework help formula. After you create a free account, you can submit your homework help questions, and tutors will submit bids to answer your questions. You’ll be able to select the tutor–and price point–that works for you, then you’ll pay to have your homework question answered. You can also pay a small fee to access notes, lectures, and other documents that top tutors have uploaded. 

The downside to Studypool is that the pricing is not transparent . There’s no way to plan for how much your homework help will cost, especially if you have lots of questions! Additionally, it’s not clear how tutors are selected, so you’ll need to be cautious when you choose who you’d like to answer your homework questions.  

What Are the Pros and Cons of Using Homework Help Sites?

Homework help websites can be a great resource if you’re struggling in a subject, or even if you just want to make sure that you’re really learning and understanding topics and ideas that you’re interested in. But, there are some possible drawbacks if you don’t use these sites responsibly. 

We’ll go over the good–and the not-so-good–aspects of getting online homework help below. 

3 Pros of Using Homework Help Websites 

First, let’s take a look at the benefits. 

#1: Better Grades Beyond Homework

This is a big one! Getting outside help with your studies can improve your understanding of concepts that you’re learning, which translates into better grades when you take tests or write essays. 

Remember: homework is designed to help reinforce the concepts you learned in class. If you just get easy answers without learning the material behind the problems, you may not have the tools you need to be successful on your class exams…or even standardized tests you’ll need to take for college. 

#2: Convenience

One of the main reasons that online homework help is appealing is because it’s flexible and convenient. You don’t have to go to a specific tutoring center while they’re open or stay after school to speak with your teacher. Instead, you can access helpful resources wherever you can access the internet, whenever you need them.

This is especially true if you tend to study at off hours because of your extracurriculars, work schedule, or family obligations. Sites that offer 24/7 tutoring can give you the extra help you need if you can’t access the free resources that are available at your school. 

#3: Variety

Not everyone learns the same way. Maybe you’re more of a visual learner, but your teacher mostly does lectures. Or maybe you learn best by listening and taking notes, but you’re expected to learn something just from reading the textbook . 

One of the best things about online homework help is that it comes in a variety of forms. The best homework help sites offer resources for all types of learners, including videos, practice activities, and even one-on-one discussions with real-life experts. 

This variety can also be a good thing if you just don’t really resonate with the way a concept is being explained (looking at you, math textbooks!).

Not so fast. There are cons to homework help websites, too. Get to know them below!

3 Cons of Using Homework Help Websites 

Now, let’s take a look at the drawbacks of online homework help. 

#1: Unreliable Info

This can be a real problem. In addition to all the really good homework help sites, there are a whole lot of disreputable or unreliable sites out there. The fact of the matter is that some homework help sites don’t necessarily hire people who are experts in the subjects they’re talking about. In those cases, you may not be getting the accurate, up-to-date, and thorough information you need.

Additionally, even the great sites may not be able to answer all of your homework questions. This is especially true if the site uses an algorithm or chatbot to help students…or if you’re enrolled in an advanced or college-level course. In these cases, working with your teacher or school-provided tutors are probably your best option. 

#2: No Clarification

This depends on the service you use, of course. But the majority of them provide free or low-cost help through pre-recorded videos. Watching videos or reading info online can definitely help you with your homework… but you can’t ask questions or get immediate feedback if you need it .

#3: Potential For Scamming 

Like we mentioned earlier, there are a lot of homework help websites out there, and lots of them are scams. The review comments we read covered everything from outdated or wrong information, to misleading claims about the help provided, to not allowing people to cancel their service after signing up. 

No matter which site you choose to use, make sure you research and read reviews before you sign up–especially if it’s a paid service! 

When Does “Help” Become “Cheating”?

Admittedly, whether using homework help websites constitutes cheating is a bit of a grey area. For instance, is it “help” when a friend reads your essay for history class and corrects your grammar, or is it “cheating”? The truth is, not everyone agrees on when “help” crosses the line into “cheating .” When in doubt, it can be a good idea to check with your teacher to see what they think about a particular type of help you want to get. 

That said, a general rule of thumb to keep in mind is to make sure that the assignment you turn in for credit is authentically yours . It needs to demonstrate your own thoughts and your own current abilities. Remember: the point of every homework assignment is to 1) help you learn something, and 2) show what you’ve learned. 

So if a service answers questions or writes essays for you, there’s a good chance using it constitutes cheating. 

Here’s an example that might help clarify the difference for you. Brainstorming essay ideas with others or looking online for inspiration is “help” as long as you write the essay yourself. Having someone read it and give you feedback about what you need to change is also help, provided you’re the one that makes the changes later. 

But copying all or part of an essay you find online or having someone write (or rewrite) the whole thing for you would be “cheating.” The same is true for other subjects. Ultimately, if you’re not generating your own work or your own answers, it’s probably cheating.

5 Tips for Finding the Best Homework Help Websites for You

Now that you know some of our favorite homework help websites, free and paid, you can start doing some additional research on your own to decide which services might work best for you! Here are some top tips for choosing a homework help website. 

Tip 1: Decide How You Learn Best 

Before you decide which site or sites you’re going to use for homework help, y ou should figure out what kind of learning style works for you the most. Are you a visual learner? Then choose a site that uses lots of videos to help explain concepts. If you know you learn best by actually doing tasks, choose a site that provides lots of practice exercises.

Tip 2: Determine Which Subjects You Need Help With

Just because a homework help site is good overall doesn’t mean that it’s equally good for every subject. If you only need help in math, choose a site that specializes in that area. But if history is where you’re struggling, a site that specializes in math won’t be much help. So make sure to choose a site that you know provides high-quality help in the areas you need it most. 

Tip 3: Decide How Much One-On-One Help You Need 

This is really about cost-effectiveness. If you learn well on your own by reading and watching videos, a free site like Khan Academy is a good choice. But if you need actual tutoring, or to be able to ask questions and get personalized answers from experts, a paid site that provides that kind of service may be a better option.

Tip 4: Set a Budget

If you decide you want to go with a paid homework help website, set a budget first . The prices for sites vary wildly, and the cost to use them can add up quick. 

Tip 5: Read the Reviews

Finally, it’s always a good idea to read actual reviews written by the people using these homework sites. You’ll learn the good, the bad, and the ugly of what the users’ experiences have been. This is especially true if you intend to subscribe to a paid service. You’ll want to make sure that users think it’s worth the price overall!

What’s Next?

If you want to get good grades on your homework, it’s a good idea to learn how to tackle it strategically. Our expert tips will help you get the most out of each assignment…and boost your grades in the process.

Homework Help sites can work with you even if you're burning the midnight oil.

2024 Homework Help Site Reviews

• Pricing from $15 to $60
• Tutors have advanced degrees in their major fields of study
• Synchronous and asynchronous learning
• Online library for questions answered previously
• No monthly fees or minimum payments
• Average rating of 4.9 out of 5 stars
• "A+" rating and accreditation from the BBB

24HourAnswers is an academic site that was established in 2005 and is currently headquartered in New York. The company prioritizes the academic needs of students across the globe through two services: asynchronous homework assistance and live, online tutoring through its whiteboard platform.

Choose your budget

24HourAnswers distinguishes itself by providing a 24/7 platform where students can submit questions related to various subjects. The best part? You can choose your budget, so you'll only get matched with tutors or helpers that fit your needs.

Multiple ways to get answers

Getting started with 24HourAnswers is simple. You can start right away by filling out a question form. Once you do that, you'll be prompted to create a free account. Once logged in, you can also look for live tutoring or homework help sessions, upload documents, and submit questions for a written solution. Tutors respond promptly, often within a few minutes. One of the best parts of this service is that you can set your own due dates to get the answers you need before the deadline on your actual homework.

Live meetings or asynchronous answers

You can find assistance in a range of topics including math, organic chemistry, economics, accounting, finance, computer programming, writing, psychology, engineering, biology, physics, and more. You can opt for one-on-one sessions, where you can request the same tutor for future assistance. After each session, you can rate your tutors, facilitating 24HourAnswers in maintaining a high standard of tutoring quality. Live sessions are recorded for your future reference. Or, you can submit your question online to be answered asynchronously if you don't have time to commit to a whole session. Finally, you can always look up your problem in the homework library on the website for topics that have already been answered by the company.

Master's degrees and PhDs for tutors

In terms of pedigree, 24HourAnswers has impressive requirements for its tutors. All tutors possess degrees in their respective fields. Most of them hold master's degrees and many of them hold doctorates. 24HourAnswers doesn't hire any tutors that aren't fully qualified in the subject they're teaching.

Priced per session

Rather than a monthly subscription model, 24HourAnswers charges you based on individual work orders. Things that can change pricing include session duration, task complexity, tutor expertise, and the time available before the homework deadline. Upfront pricing details are provided, allowing you to decide whether to proceed with the service. Tutors aim to offer fair and realistic quotes, with potential flexibility based on specific budget constraints. And, if you want to limit the options to resources that are within your budget, you can select from 4 different budget ranges. You can choose from $15 to $25, $25 to $45, $45 to $60, and $60+.

Refunds through a review process

Refund requests are infrequent, according to feedback from happy students. However, you can request a refund if you feel it's necessary. However, usually the student and tutor need to agree on the situation where a refund is possible. If there is a disagreement, an impartial evaluation from 24HourAnswers will assess whether the student received the expected assistance. Refunds, if issued, are returned to the original payment method.

Top-notch reputation

24HourAnswers is owned by Parker Paradigms Inc., and this parent company stands out with a stellar "A+" rating and accreditation from the Better Business Bureau. On top of that, students have left tons of reviews for 24HourAnswers. Across multiple review sites, the average rating is an impressive 4.9 stars out of 5. Praise includes comments about 24HourAnswers' "unmatched professionalism" and extremely helpful details for a variety of courses including foreign languages and college prep. It's genuinely hard to find anything negative about 24HourAnswers, solidifying this company's reputation as a top-notch education resource.

#1 rating for 24HourAnswers

With overwhelmingly positive reviews from students, multiple learning methods, and pricing that fits any budget, 24HourAnswers stands out as a professional and comprehensive educational service. The pay-per-question model is flexible and takes every budget into account. With impressive tutors on their roster with advanced degrees, you can trust the expertise of 24HourAnswers. For these reasons, 24HourAnswers comes in as the top competitor for Homework Help in our review with a perfect 5-star rating.

Free to use

• AI tutoring available
• Asynchronous learning
• Average rating of 4 out of 5 stars

Established in 2007, Khan Academy operates as a non-profit organization committed to providing free education by offering practice exercises, instructional videos, and a personalized learning dashboard. Their core objective is skill mastery, focusing on helping learners build robust foundations for continuous learning. While some of their offerings might be more limited than other homework help sites, there's a wide variety of grade levels including up to college-level work. Plus as a free resource, Khan Academy stands out from the pack.

Easy and gamified approach

Getting started with Khan Academy is super easy. You just need to select the grade level and subject and jump right in. As learners engage with Khan Academy's courses, they accumulate "master points," creating a fun gamified approach to hold students' attention. After each unit, a test evaluates their comprehension of the acquired skills.

Supports all grade levels and exams

Khan Academy offers support to K-12 subjects like math, science, history, and language arts. It also aids students in test preparation for exams such as the LSAT, SAT, and Praxis. You can even find support for college-level courses at Khan Academy. The platform categorizes courses by grade and topic, offering a broad array of high school and college-level math courses, economics classes, arts and humanities topics, and life skills courses.

Head start to learning

Notably, Khan Academy provides "get ready" courses for 3rd-8th graders, offering an overview of upcoming learning materials and a head start on essential skills - a valuable option for students to strengthen their foundations during the summer break. As another bonus, Khan Academy consistently expands its platform by incorporating new courses. Recent additions encompass "get ready" units for AP calculus, high school statistics, high school biology, AP/college chemistry, high school and AP/college physics, and AP/college environmental science. As donations flow in, Khan Academy grows its platform by maintaining up-to-date information to deliver optimal free online education.

No tutors, but AI learning included

Now, as a free service, Khan Academy doesn't offer person-to-person tutoring. However, you can use the new Khanmigo tool, which offers personalized AI tutoring from Khan Academy. This can be used by students to help guide their study or as a tool for teachers to support learning in the classroom.

One of the best advantages of Khan Academy is its accessibility to anyone completely for free. Whether you're looking for help with a specific class or support getting ready for a college exam, Khan Academy serves as a valuable, cost-free resource. Many reviewers said they felt they gained more knowledge on this platform than through an entire semester or year of traditional in-person classes. And since there's no cost associated with Khan Academy, you don't have to worry about refunds.

Solid reputation with educators and students

The impact of Khan Academy extends globally, providing invaluable resources not only to students within traditional educational systems but also reaching children in regions lacking access to formal education. While there isn't a Better Business Bureau page for Khan Academy since it's a non-profit rather than a business, there are plenty of reviews to look at online. From review sites that focus on teacher and student demographics, both groups are extremely happy with the service, awarding Khan Academy an average of 4 stars overall. From other third-party sites like Trustpilot and Sitejabber, the reviews show similar feedback with an average rating of 3.5 stars out of 5.

Best free solution for homework help

While Khan Academy primarily functions as a self-guided resource, offering substantial benefits, some students may prefer access to one-on-one tutors or assistance with particularly challenging homework questions. With the new AI tool, there are also ways to get help from Khan Academy with more guidance. However, if you're looking for one-on-one help from a teacher or tutor, Khan Academy isn't going to be your first pick. But if you're looking for a free resource with K-12 and college-level homework help, Khan Academy is the top no-cost option out there. For this reason, it gets a strong recommendation in our review.

Founded in 2002, Chegg stands as a multifaceted platform offering textbook rentals, test prep materials, homework help, and more. Popular with college students especially as a more affordable option for textbooks (rather than buying them directly from their university), Chegg is a popular name in academia. With the Chegg learning services, you can prep with college-level materials as well as homework help for high school. The primary part of Chegg that's relevant to Homework Help services is the Chegg Study program.

Get started right away

Getting started is extremely simple at Chegg. The main page has a huge search bar where you can quickly type in your questions. You can also upload your question via a photo of your homework (especially helpful if you have complex math problems to work through). If you're looking specifically for Homework Help, you can check out the Study tab on the main site. Here you have two options: Textbook Explanations and Expert Q&As.

Video help and quick questions

Chegg offers a variety of tutoring services across various subjects such as accounting, algebra, biology, calculus, chemistry, economics, finance, physics, and statistics, targeting high school and college-level courses. Chegg extends 24/7 homework help, priding itself on an average response time of 46 minutes from the moment a student submits a question. If you want to use the Textbook Explanations feature, this will be a video walkthrough with your exact textbook helping you to solve problems in the book step by step. If you choose Expert Q&As, you can expect quick answers by just snapping a picture of your homework question and one of Chegg's on-staff tutors will help you out.

College degree or better to work at Chegg

While finding details about the qualifications of Chegg's "experts" is unclear on the website itself, looking at Chegg's job offerings shows that they require at least a college degree in the subject the tutors are helping out with. In some cases with more advanced subjects, tutors and homework helpers are required to take additional exams through Chegg to prove they're knowledgeable in updated methodologies or degree-related practices.

$14.95 per month

Chegg works on a subscription basis. A subscription to Chegg Study which includes the Homework Help, tutoring, and other features comes at a monthly cost of $14.95, providing full access. The subscription includes 20 homework questions per month. Questions beyond the allotted 20 can be purchased separately, although the pricing details for this service are not explicitly outlined on the website. Regrettably, Chegg lacks a demo or free trial for its textbook solutions tool, which offers step-by-step explanations and guided video walkthroughs. So, you'll have to join the program to test it out. While you can cancel at any time, that lack of a preview is a little frustrating.

7-day refund policy

If you're not happy with the tutoring services you get from Chegg, there's a Study Guarantee program in place. This means you can reach out to Chegg within seven days of your first session, sharing why you're dissatisfied with the service. Chegg will then carefully review your case and, if they agree, you'll get a refund. While this isn't as concrete as some other guarantees, we're happy to see that Chegg now offers this refund option as it wasn't clearly defined the last time we reviewed the company.

Reputation has risen in recent years

Chegg previously lacked a rating from the Better Business Bureau, so in that respect, we're impressed by how far the company has come. Chegg has brought its rating to a "B+" from the BBB, which is much more reliable. However, it still has mid-tier ratings from third-party review sites. Although these student reviews are primarily centered on textbook rentals, we have seen a gradual improvement. On the other hand, feedback on homework help resources is relatively scarce. Some reviews highlight concerns that Chegg prioritizes providing quick answers over comprehensive explanations during tutoring sessions, potentially limiting thorough understanding of the material.

Solid option but could be more transparent

Chegg Study presents itself as a potential resource for students seeking prompt solutions to homework problems. The platform allows you to ask specific questions and receive step-by-step instructions or quickly find textbook answers. While it offers practical assistance, it is a little less helpful than some other services that offer more transparency on what the services entail. Chegg Study appears suitable for obtaining swift solutions but may not be the optimal choice for in-depth concept immersion. It has raised its reputation in recent years, and is a go-to source for textbooks. For all these reasons, and its affordable pricing, Chegg earns a solid rating in our review.

• Pricing from $39.99 to $339.99/month
• Synchronous tutoring
• Average rating of 4.4 out of 5 stars
• "A-" rating and accreditation from the BBB

The Princeton Review has been a key player in supporting students with their education for over 35 years. Their primary focus is on providing test prep materials for college-level (and graduate school) exams such as the GRE, TOEFL, ACT, SAT, LSAT, GRE, GMAT, DAT, and more.

Great reputation for prep courses

Despite being acknowledged as relatively expensive, The Princeton Review is renowned for its highly recommended test prep courses that promise visible improvement in results. It also provides private one-on-one tutoring to address any homework queries. This is the only way to learn from this platform, so if you're looking for 24/7 help or asynchronous options, this site won't be ideal for you.

Get started with a free trial

Getting started at The Princeton Review is simple. All you need to do is click the "start free trial" button on the main page, and you can use the homework assistance and tutoring options right away. The trial offers 7 days free with a complimentary 30-minute tutoring session. This way, you can check out the tutoring style and begin addressing challenging homework questions before you have to make a payment decision. If you cancel the membership before the end of the 7-day trial period, you won't be charged anything.

Range of services

While The Princeton Review specializes in college and post-grad exam prep, K-12 students can also benefit from one-on-one tutoring to receive assistance with AP tests and review various class materials. The Princeton Review offers homework help through personalized tutoring in over 80 subjects. Instead of providing standalone resources for independent use, such as a library of information for self-directed homework, their emphasis is on the effectiveness of tutoring. While this is a highly successful method for homework help, the personalized nature of tutoring comes at a substantial cost.

Lower qualification requirements

The qualifications for becoming a teacher with The Princeton Review are actually much more lax than some other companies in our review. Candidates to teach for The Princeton Review must live in the U.S. or Canada, and be at least 18 years old. Tutors need to successfully pass their qualifying exam and training, showcase strong oral and written communication skills, and have the ability to create a dynamic and interesting learning environment for students. These guidelines don't even require a high school diploma, which was surprising. However, for college-level exams, instructors must have or be currently pursuing a bachelor's degree or higher.

Four ways to pay monthly

So, the one complaint often seen for The Princeton Review is that it's pricey. While you can start with a free trial, that only lasts 1 week. And when you sign up, you'll have to commit to one of the amounts for tutoring on a monthly payment schedule. While plans can be altered or canceled at any time, the options include:

• 1 hour at $39.99/month
• 2 hours at $79.99/month
• 3 hours at $114.99/month
• 5 hours at $179.99/month
• 10 hours at $339.99/month

The challenge with prepaying for a set number of hours per month lies in the difficulty of predicting the exact amount of tutoring you will actually require. This may lead to a feeling of obligation to utilize the tutor even when not necessary to avoid wasting money.

Grade improvement guarantee

The Princeton Review offers a grade improvement assurance of at least half a letter grade (or three points) higher if your student is K-12 and attends 2 hours of tutoring per month in a single subject for three consecutive months. If you follow those particular guidelines but don't see the promised improvement, The Princeton Review promises a full refund of their services.

Solid reputation overall

With an "A-" rating from the Better Business Bureau and positive student reviews, The Princeton Review stands out as a valuable resource for those committed to their education and willing to invest in their learning. According to third-party review sites, The Princeton Review has an impressive average rating of 4.4 stars out of 5. Customers were particularly impressed by their tutors' knowledge and professionalism, so it appears that the hiring qualifications (or lack thereof) aren't a problem for The Princeton Review's quality of service.

Best if you want synchronous tutoring sessions

While the cost of tutoring and the need to plan hours in advance may require a little extra consideration, The Princeton Review is a solid homework help option that can guarantee results. Plus, if you're fond of synchronous tutoring sessions where you talk with another person, The Princeton Review is ideal for you. However, if you're interested in a mixed-mode learning style with asynchronous materials as well as tutoring, you may be disappointed with your options here.

• Pricing from $119.40 per year or $59.85 per quarter
• Tutors are screened on their subjects
• Asynchronous Q&A style
• AI-powered homework help
• Online library
• 30-day return policy
• "A+" rating from the BBB

As the world of AI keeps expanding, it's little to no surprise that the technology is making its way into learning. There are a few options in our review that include AI in their homework help services, but Course Hero stands out from the rest by being almost entirely AI-powered.

Paid or free

The homework help program is offered under a paid or free membership depending on which features you want to use (and how many). You can work with the AI for a few questions for free or with an expert (which is covered only under the paid membership). However, if you're willing to work through your homework with an AI trained for education purposes, this might be a unique way to get help around the clock in a way that working with a human tutor can't.

AI answers questions 24/7

To use the homework help AI, all you have to do is upload your study documents. You can upload a photo, .docx, or PDF file for the AI to review. The AI will help you answer questions where you're stuck and provide answers and explanations directly on the document or file that you uploaded. The best part is this service is fully 24/7, so you can get help from your homework AI anytime you need it. You can get one question answered for free before you need to join a Course Hero membership.

One-stop shop for homework

So, on top of AI homework help, you can find extra help from Course Hero experts as well as the Course Hero online library. For the experts, you get 5 questions free before you have to subscribe to a membership. Like the AI, this service is also 24/7, so you can talk to an expert about your homework any time. Keep in mind this is an asynchronous service, so you won't be on video calls with a tutor. You can ask anything from high school to college level questions on a range of over 100 subjects. Then, there's the study resources. This includes school resources, textbook solutions, study guides, grammar checkers, and even a tool to help you paraphrase. With multiple ways to get the answers you need and some of them free (like the study resources), Course Hero offers an impressive one-stop shop.

Experts are highly qualified

At Course Hero, you'll receive answers from a certified expert, specially trained in your field of study. Course Hero's team of over 2,600 tutors went through a comprehensive onboarding process that included a subject-specific application to assess their knowledge, an official check of their credentials to verify their background, and feedback from students to guarantee clear and thorough content. While they don't say if there's a degree requirement, the Course Hero tutor application process is extremely thorough.

Free and paid membership

Course Hero offers two memberships: a Basic Membership, available for free, and a paid Premier Membership with two billing periods. With the Basic Membership, you can access online tutors (the expert help option) at a separate cost. On the other hand, Premier members, who pay either a monthly or annual fee, get benefits like unlocking up to 30 documents and/or User Questions, full access to Textbook Solutions and Explanations in Course Hero's library, and the ability to receive answers on up to 40 Questions.

Plan details

For Course Hero's 3 plans, here are the details:

• Basic plan: This plan doesn't cost anything, but you'll have limited access to study materials. You can access up to 3 documents per month, but you'll be missing out on premium content or 24/7 tutor support. (It is unclear if this includes the AI assistant).
• Annual subscription: This plan costs $9.95 per month, billed annually at $119.40. This allows you unlimited access to study materials, including premium content, and 24/7 tutor support.
• Quarterly subscription: This plan costs $19.95 per month, billed quarterly at $59.85. This offers the same features as the Annual subscription, but you'll pay a higher monthly fee.

As a bonus, both membership types allow you to earn "Unlocks" and extra questions you can ask for free by contributing study documents to Course Hero's library. For every 10 documents submitted, you can earn 5 unlocks or 3 questions (up to 9).

30-day money-back guarantee

With Course Hero's Money Back Guarantee, you can get a full refund if you meet certain criteria. To qualify, you need to request a refund within 30 days of your purchase, and you should not have used more than five 5 subscription unlocks. This way you can use some unlocks and get a proper trial of what the site offers, but still cancel within a reasonable amount.

Tutors aren't happy with Course Hero

Course Hero has an impressive "A+" rating and accreditation from the Better Business Bureau. On the other hand, from third-party review sites, Course Hero doesn't do as well. Instead, it has an average star rating of 2.3 out of 5. Customers liked parts of the program, citing helpful experts and useful materials, but others were frustrated with problems like a sudden rise in fees or the difficulty accessing questions or services once they ran out of free ones (even with a paid membership). However, many of the poor reviews for Course Hero on Trustpilot and other third-party review sites are from tutors who work there rather than customers leaving reviews.

Solid option if you need help at all hours

While the appeal of a totally 24/7 service is amazing, there are a few things to keep in mind with Course Hero. First, the services are fairly limited if you don't want to pay for a monthly membership. And even if you do, there are some limitations to the number of questions you can ask per month. While you can earn other free questions, it's a little frustrating to have to "work" for the company to get more help with homework. However, the site offers highly comprehensive solutions with three different ways to get answers to your homework: AI, Experts, and Study Resources. So, if this is your cup of tea, make sure you check it out.

• Free to use homework help
• Tutoring from $35 to $155 per hour
• Tutors all over 18
• Synchronous tutoring and asynchronous Q&A

Established in 2005 by two Princeton graduates, Wyzant has nearly 20 years of experience, earning recognition through features in prominent media outlets. Wyzant, a platform dedicated to one-on-one learning, aims to provide accessible, affordable, and convenient educational experiences.

Compare tutors

Wyzant prioritizes your needs by allowing you to compare tutor qualifications, hourly rates, and reviews for your best-matched homework help. Offering flexibility with online and in-person sessions, Wyzant lets you decide how you want to learn. However, there's one drawback: if you're looking for 24/7 assistance with your homework, this may not be the best platform. As the site specializes in tutoring sessions, the homework help options aren't as robust. On the other hand, the "ask a question" service offered by Wyzant for homework does appear to be free.

Ask a question to start

To get started with Wyzant's homework help service, you just need to type your question in the text box and submit it. If you don't have an account already, the site will prompt you. This way, when one of the on-staff tutors answers your question, you can be instantly notified via email. While there isn't anything complicated or confusing about the question-and-answer process, it also isn't as robust as other services unless you want to take advantage of one-on-one tutoring.

Help with 300+ subjects

With a robust offering of over 300 subjects, the platform facilitates more than a million lessons annually through trusted instructors. Wyzant's extensive subject coverage spans from algebra and chemistry to languages and coding, reflecting its commitment to assisting students across various academic domains. However, most of the topics covered by Wyzant are high school level. So, if you're looking for help in a college-level class, this may not be ideal for you.

Tutor qualifications are lower than average

To become a tutor at Wyzant, there are only a few simple requirements. Tutors must be at least 18 years old and living in the United States. Wyzant does not require tutors to have degrees or to be certified as teachers, though those factors are a bonus in their hiring process. We were a little surprised at the lax requirements for tutors given that many of Wyzant's competitors require college degrees (and sometimes advanced degrees) to offer help to students in the tutor's area of expertise. In some cases, companies require exams during the hiring process. Wyzant doesn't require any of these things, which might be tied into some concerns reviewers had about tutor matches.

Free homework answers

For the question and answer homework help, Wyzant's services are free. However, if you want to utilize a tutoring session, the pricing changes depending on which tutor you hire. While the platform aims to provide a general idea of expected rates, the variability in online and in-person tutoring locations results in a broad cost spectrum, ranging from $35 to over $155 per hour.

Reputation has fallen recently

Understandably, Wyzant faces mixed reviews and concerns about potential overcharging, which is part of why the platform's rating has fallen recently. While Wyzant used to hold an "A-" rating from the Better Business Bureau, it now only has a "B+" rating, showing a decline in popularity. Further, reviews on third-party sites like Sitejabber and Trustpilot exhibit some variability, contributing to a 3.8-star average on Sitejabber and a 2.8-star rating on Trustpilot. The main concerns revolve around the time it takes to find a suitable tutor and occasional disparities in tutoring rates. Not many of the reviews focus on the homework help service specifically.

Mid-tier service with free homework help

While Wyzant remains a prominent and user-friendly platform for tutoring services, with an option for free questions-and-answers-style homework help, its reputation raises some questions about its ongoing quality. While there is praise for the tutoring service, reviewers also had concerns about overcharging and tutor matching issues. For these reasons, Wyzant falls in the middle of the pack for homework help. It's not the most robust platform, but it has a free option for homework help, making it competitive.

• Database organization
• Average rating of 4.5 out of 5 stars

Infoplease promises a comprehensive reference and learning platform, integrating the features of an encyclopedia, dictionary, atlas, and various almanacs filled with statistics, facts, and historical records. Despite their claim to excellence and multiple awards post-launch, Infoplease has faced criticism for grammatical errors and a difficult-to-use interface, and we totally agree. If you're looking for a polished user experience, you should definitely check out one of our higher-rated options instead.

A little confusing when you first arrive

Upon accessing Infoplease, our initial experience wasn't the most welcoming. The front page of Infoplease is heralded by a cluttered interface full of blue hyperlinks, different-sized fonts, and extremely small or disorganized text. The last update to their homework center in February 2017 raises concerns about the site's maintenance and relevance to modern textbooks and methodologies. There are strange links too, to non-education-related materials like "Top Secret: SCP Foundation" which is a fictional story (and not one popular in English programs).

Lots of subjects, but poor organization

Infoplease offers a variety of subjects such as geography, history, language arts, mathematics, science, and more. The search bar allows you to explore the site's tools like a conversion calculator, periodic table, distance calculator, math flashcards, Roman numeral challenge, and others. In general, the tools seem a little random, though they could prove beneficial in specific scenarios.

Difficult to use for specific needs

Each learning topic on Infoplease leads to a cascade of subcategories, providing you with more in-depth information. For instance, selecting science might lead to subtopics like earth science, physical science, or computer science. However, it's pretty challenging to sift through the information to address specific homework help needs, making it more suitable for casual learners exploring a wide array of subjects.

No tutors on staff

Infoplease is different from some of the other sites in our review because it functions primarily as a database. So, there aren't any on-staff tutors to help you out. If you want to dig up information on your homework at Infoplease, you're totally on your own. This may not be ideal for more complex subjects like advanced sciences or mathematics.

On the bright side, you don't have to pay for Infoplease. So, you can explore an extensive wealth of information without incurring any costs. However, this seems only fair considering how complicated it is to find what you need at Infoplease. In general, you might be better off looking on Google before digging through Infoplease for what you need. But despite the need for updates, the platform remains an open resource for those seeking knowledge without financial constraints.

Solid reputation for those looking for casual research

Since Infoplease is free to use and not a business, the company doesn't have a page on the Better Business Bureau. However, reviews on sites like Sitejabber give us an idea of how students are using Infoplease and what their experiences are like. The overall rating is a solid 4.5 stars out of 5. On the other hand, most of the reviews come from casual researchers or those who aren't looking to answer particular homework questions. While you can find extra details about a topic of interest or a few study guides with general information, this won't be the place to answer those in-depth textbook questions.

Not an ideal platform for homework

Infoplease initially aimed to establish itself as a comprehensive knowledge hub. While the mission was commendable, it appears that over time, the platform struggled to keep pace with evolving internet study tools, leading to a loss of direction. Regrettably, seeking homework help on Infoplease may prove futile. However, it remains a viable resource for those interested in self-directed learning or exploring new topics in their free time. Since it doesn't stand out in the homework help department, Infoplease gets a lower-than-average rating.

• Pricing based on quotes
• Synchronous tutoring sessions
• Focus on individual learning

Pear Deck Learning, formerly known as TutorMe, is an innovative online tutoring platform that's reshaping the way students learn... supposedly. At Pear Deck Learning, what they're really working toward is a bit of a mystery. The site lacks much of the transparency it had before the rebrand, making it more difficult to suss out specifics.

Reputation has fallen

What we do know is that Pear Deck Learning kept TutorMe's adherence to one-on-one tutoring sessions as its main drive. But while the company used to have an impressive track record (back when it was TutorMe) of over 1.3 million live sessions, writing lab submissions, and 705,000 hours of one-on-one interaction, Pear Deck Learning doesn't have the same reputation.

Site is missing major details

Starting your homework help with Pear Deck Learning is hidden behind a paywall. There's no detail about what you can expect from the program until you click on the "request a quote" button. There isn't even an online chatbot to ask questions. This is a huge departure from how Pear Deck Learning ran things back when it was still TutorMe. Despite a gorgeous design interface, we're a little skeptical about this new rebrand.

Focuses on individual tutoring

When it comes to tutoring at Pear Deck Learning, you'll get one-on-one virtual lessons. In addition to the live sessions, Pear Deck Learning still claims an extensive catalog of subjects. But, Pear Deck Learning is a tutoring-only service. If you're looking for an online library or asynchronous learning tools for your homework help, you won't find them here. Unfortunately, details about what you'll find in these one-on-one sessions are scarce.

Lower requirements for tutors

The requirements for tutors to work at Pear Deck Learning appear much less stringent than they were in the past. Potential tutors only need to be 18 years old and have proficiency in the subjects they want to tutor in. This is a major departure from other top competitors who require college degrees or even higher education for their staff members.

No transparency in pricing

While TutorMe had a detailed description of prices, Pear Deck Learning in its new form does not. As we mentioned earlier, all of the details about the tutoring program are hidden behind the "quote" button. There are no prices (even general ones) listed on the site. So, without submitting your personal information and waiting for a quote to pop up in your email, there's no way to know for sure how much you might be paying for Pear Deck Learning's services. Unsurprisingly, there were no details about refunds either.

Lack of a reputation raises questions

Unfortunately, Pear Deck Learning is so new since its rebranding from TutorMe, the new company doesn't have any ratings on the Better Business Bureau. Since the company has been extremely different in practice and presentation since the rebrand, we don't feel comfortable substituting TutorMe's old "A" rating from the Better Business Bureau. In terms of third-party reviews, there's really nothing out there for Pear Deck Learning either. One site offers 16 reviews with a 5-star average, so maybe there's hope for this rebrand, but we're still skeptical.

Rebrand is still too fresh

At the end of the day, Pear Deck Learning just doesn't stand out the way it did before the rebrand. With little to no information on major details of the site, we're not sure what the prices are, what the tutoring sessions are really like, or if you should trust them to help out with your homework. So, with a lack of transparency being the primary concern here, Pear Deck Learning earns a lower rating in our review. We hope that the company will be able to impress us in the future once it's fully settled from the rebrand, but right now, you're better off looking somewhere else for homework help services.

• Tutors at "Ph.D. Level"

Top Homework Helper is a site that operates around the clock to offer personalized solutions to your homework challenges. Top Homework Helper emphasizes delivering excellent solutions to help students make a positive impression on their professors. However, a potential concern emerges as Top Homework Helper seems geared toward providing answers rather than facilitating a deep understanding of the subject matter. The FAQ section raises questions about hiring someone to complete assignments, with affirmative responses suggesting a focus on completing tasks rather than fostering learning.

Submit your question and wait

Three straightforward steps guide you through the process of utilizing Top Homework Helper's services. First, you need to submit your homework questions, specifying the subject and attaching relevant documents. Following this, payment is made using PayPal, a debit card, or a credit card, although the pricing details remain undisclosed. An expert then reaches out to provide a solution before the specified deadline.

Get answers on 100+ subjects

Top Homework Helper covers over 100 subjects, including geography, math, biotechnology, humanities, language arts, computer science, and more, typically aligning with 6th- through 12th-grade coursework, including essay writing. In terms of using the services, you can set your own deadlines when submitting homework questions to Top Homework Helper. You'll usually get a solution promptly, with some answers available in as little as 24 hours. However, if you're looking for free online resources or synchronous tutoring, you're out of luck here.

Tutors hold PhDs

While we struggled to find any details about the qualifications for working at Top Homework Helper, the online chat feature let us find out super quick. The chat representative told us that the tutors at Top Homework Helper are all "Ph.D. level" . This was highly impressive compared to some companies that hire those with high school diplomas. However, the chat rep also used some pretty broken English in our communication which raised some eyebrows. We're not sure if "Ph.D. level" means that the tutors hold Ph.D.s or if this is just a "level" of knowledge that employees have.

Pricing lacks transparency

Another place we weren't particularly impressed with was the lack of transparency regarding prices. Top Homework Helper uses a quote-based payment system where you pay for each question you ask. While this avoids paying monthly for tutoring services you may or may not need, it does leave a lot of questions. The only statement on the website is that the prices are "reasonable." But to see any pricing, you'll have to make an account and submit a homework request.

One free revision

Top Homework Helper doesn't appear to offer refunds or guarantees. However, the company does offer a free revision if the original solution to your question is insufficient or unhelpful. This is particularly beneficial when you have writing assignments you need Top Homework Helper's assistance with.

Reputation is one of the worst

Top Homework Helper lacks recognition from the Better Business Bureau and has gotten lots of student complaints on third-party review sites. On Sitejabber, for example, Top Homework Helper has an average rating of 1 star out of 5. Reviews highlight issues such as grammatical errors in assignments, delayed expert responses, and unclear pricing structures. The absence of transparent pricing until after discussing homework details makes us doubt the platform's reliability and commitment to clear communication.

Too many red flags

There are a lot of red flags to watch out for at Top Homework Helper. On top of the abysmal 1-star review average, you'll find broken English on several pages of the website. Plus, the lack of transparency on pricing is a huge downside since you don't know what you're getting into before you get your quote. Given these factors, it's safer to choose one of our higher-rated options over Top Homework Helper for homework assistance.

• Prices by quote

Quiz+ is a study tool database, offering a range of resources like quizzes, tests, flashcards, and textbooks spanning 30 academic fields, from anthropology to nursing. Designed for students looking to streamline their test preparation, the platform allows you to select a subtopic and course, offering ready-made study materials. It's particularly useful for independent learners, making it an excellent resource for AP students aiming to stay organized and focused. However, with some significant red flags, Quiz+ isn't the homework help solution it promises to be.

Look through the library of tools

To get started, you can search the huge database right away to see if the resources you're looking for are available for free. When you search for a topic or subject, you'll see all the different tools available for you. As a test, we just searched AP English and saw the following tools:

• What other students viewed
• Common questions for your topic
• Textbook solutions
• Online courses
• Downloadable documents

The tools that are available for free will have a little unlock symbol next to them. The rest will have an "unlock" button.

Four ways to complete homework

The total range of services includes 4 different options to support your education. You can expect textbook solutions, docu-assist (where you upload your homework problems and Quiz+ will help you finish it), 24/7 homework assistance via community help, and flashcards. To use the homework help section of the site, you can type out your question or upload a photo, select the subject of your questions, and then Quiz+ posts your question to a public forum where other community members help you answer your question. You can choose to do this anonymously or through your username. However, it's unclear if this is free or part of the premium membership.

No on-staff tutors

As all of the services are completed by the community (like homework help) or by AI (like the docu-assist), there aren't any on-staff tutors or experts to help you out at Quiz+. This program appears pretty hands-off beyond facilitating the database for students.

No details regarding prices

Pricing is a bit of a sticking point with Quiz+. We couldn't find any mention of the price either for pay-per-question or for the premium membership. Even with outside research from reviews or online blogs, it was completely unclear. Quiz+'s pricing structure appears to be "quote-based" according to one source, but we were unable to verify that from Quiz+ itself. For this reason, we're a little wary of suggesting Quiz+. With unclear pricing, it doesn't stand out as the most trustworthy place to put your money.

No refunds allowed

We were able to find a refund policy, and it isn't particularly uplifting. According to Quiz+'s terms and conditions, the company will not offer refunds of any kind. Their FAQ section says this specifically: "All Subscription fees are non-refundable. No refund will be granted regardless of the reason. This policy is strict. You recognize and agree that you shall not be entitled to a refund for any purchase under any circumstances." Yikes - talk about zero customer service!

Recent reviews show significant concern

Quiz+ had a higher rating than we expected given the general lack of customer service demonstrated by the company's policies. But the ratings still aren't great. From the Better Business Bureau, Quiz+ holds a "B-" rating, and outside the BBB the reviews are decidedly average as well. From Trustpilot, the company has earned an average rating of 3.5 stars out of 5, though on Sitejabber, that score is a much lower 2.6-star average. Customers are calling the "free trial" from Quiz+ a "scam" as it only lasts 48 hours before you're charged. Customers also note that they had problems with the billing system where they were charged too much and couldn't secure a refund due to the no refund policy at Quiz+. Most of the recent reviews recommend staying away from Quiz+

Last place for customer service

While there are some solid learning tools at Quiz+, the lack of transparency and lack of customer service are two red flags you don't want to ignore. With our caution echoed by warnings in recent third-party reviews, it's a no-brainer for us to suggest you try one of the higher-rated services in our review instead. For these reasons, as well as its dishonest pricing and completely unbending policy regarding refunds, Quiz+ earns a low rating. Keep your money and try another company first.

There are tons of exceptional online resources and websites that stand ready to assist students with their homework at any time. These platforms cover hundreds of subjects - ranging from math and science to literature, music, art, and even specialized college-level courses. The beauty of these online lifesavers lies in their ability to connect students with experts who are adept at navigating the intricacies of academic challenges.

Late-night study sessions can quickly turn into a frustrating experience when you're grappling with a perplexing assignment. And, not all subjects are easily comprehensible. Every student has a unique learning style. When the classroom explanations fail to provide clarity, the homework can become an uphill battle.

Online homework help services offer tons of different learning tools and features. Imagine having access to personalized tutors, vocabulary flashcards, textbook solutions, searchable essays, and much more. The primary focus isn't merely on solving homework problems but on providing comprehensive, step-by-step assistance that aids in grasping the fundamental concepts.

Whether you're looking for one-on-one help in a tutoring session or a database to find answers specific to your textbook, there's a service out there that will serve your study needs. The best part is that many of these services operate 24/7, so you have a reliable homework lifeline whenever the need arises.

Since there are so many sites out there that offer homework help, making the right choice can be daunting. Before committing to a membership or a pay-per-question service, be sure to check out these criteria:

• Subjects offered. Make sure the platform you choose has the subjects and level that you need to get your homework questions answered. Some only offer K-12 whereas others offer all grade levels (even for graduate degrees).
• Cost. Pricing can play a huge role in which service you select. While some companies offer free homework help services, others charge per service or per month. Knowing how much you want to spend and balancing that with the quality of homework help can make sure you find the right company.
• Reputation. Real user experiences can provide valuable insights into whether or not a service is right for you. Are other students succeeding at getting answers to their homework problems? Are there concerns about payments or security? Check customer reviews and a company's reputation with the Better Business Bureau to get a clear look at how each business operates for students just like you.
• Variety of services. Everyone has a different learning style. Make sure that your chosen platform has the learning tools you need. Are you looking for resources, such as video tutorials, interactive quizzes, and practice problems? Or do you want one-on-one interaction with a tutor to help explain the homework to you? Whether you want synchronous learning opportunities or asynchronous work at any time of the day, make sure the platform you choose supports that learning style.

To make sure you find the best homework help on the market today, Top Consumer Reviews has meticulously reviewed and ranked the top services. We hope this helps you stop worrying about how you're going to complete your complex homework and begin focusing on getting the answers you need to move forward with your course or degree program.

Top 5 Skills of a Good Homework Coach

Do you think all homework coaches are created equal? Many students assume that anyone with knowledge about the subject they need help with can help them get their assignments done quickly, but there’s much more you should look for in a good homework coach. Remember that while you’re seeking professional assistance, it’s still your goal to enhance your learning. Only a homework coach with these five skills can ensure that you learn from your assignments, no matter how difficult they are.

Adapts to Individual Cases

Nothing proves more frustrating than getting help from a coach who refuses to adapt to the individual needs of students. There’s no one-size-fits-all formula for delivering the material you don’t know. Depending on the difficulties you’re having, the homework coach should provide you with the most accurate individual explanations based on your current level of knowledge on the subject. You shouldn’t always be the one adjusting to the approaches and methods used by the coach.

Respects You

A lot of students don’t enjoy studying for hours on end, but things take a turn for the worse when the person who’s supposed to be teaching them doesn’t show enough patience and respect. It is your choice which subject you want to study and which to consider boring and useless, nobody can judge you here. It’s difficult to feel motivated when you have bad grades, but it’s the coach’s job to give you that nudge and encourage you to do better. In case of the online tutoring, you don’t have to tolerate some edgy and grumbling guy in person for the comments that online tutors make are always to the point.

Listens to the Students

Imagine looking for homework help but your coach doesn’t take the time to listen to your needs. Do you think you’ll get the results you expect? What if specific instructions must be followed but the coach took a different approach? Surely, the last thing you’d want to happen is to seek help but end up regretting your decision later. A coach who knows how to listen can better adapt the right strategies according to your unique specifications.

Offers a Fresh Perspective

The biggest problem for countless students is that the lessons in school don’t excite them enough to make them feel more engaged. The traditional classroom setting also fails to address the strong points of some students. In many ways, the younger generation wants a fresh perspective to pique their interest and grab their attention.

What’s great about homework coaches is that they can be more flexible with their teaching resources. That boring math worksheet might suddenly become interesting once your coach shares easy explanations and shows how it can be applied to your everyday life. Translating mundane concepts into something tangible might be just what you need to feel more enthusiastic about learning.

Has Positive Feedback

When you finally come to looking for a perfect coach, do not waste your time on non-specialists. If your cousin was good at math in college 10 years ago, it doesn’t mean he or she is good at teaching. Seek the feedback about every coach or coach service online or from friends. Your coaches must be trusted and reliable; their own success will lead you to success.

As you can see, it isn’t enough to work with a coach who knows a lot about your assignment. It’s not just about getting your homework done on time. At the end of the day, you still want to learn from your assignments so you can get better grades in school and develop real life skills which will help you when you step out of the academia.

Here at Assignment Expert, we take pride in assembling a team of online homework experts with all the qualities mentioned above. This aligns with our goal of providing the highest quality assignment assistance service for students. Choosing us means that you wouldn’t simply complete your assignments but do so in a way that supplements your learning. You have the freedom of talking with our experts anytime you want to make sure that each step, concept, or idea is crystal clear to you.

About the Business

Business owner information

Business Owner

My primary focus as a homework coach and tutor, is helping students become better organized and improve their time management skills, so that they get ALL of their homework done on time. I spend time communicating with teachers and parents so that everyone is on the same page and knows what needs to be done and when it is due. Students often tell me that they do not have anything to do. I try to help them see that this is not true. There is always something that they can be doing to become a better student, to learn more, be better prepared for tests and succeed in school. Waiting until the last minute to finish assignments and study for tests can be stressful. Not getting good grades can be frustrating. Students often rebel against their parents. They don't think that the parent knows what the student needs to do. I help organize a student's time and stay on top of to do lists that we create. The result is a better, happier and more productive student and a happier family. …

Chris has worked with both of our kids over the past few years and we feel very fortunate to have found him. He is very knowledgeable in a wide variety of subjects and knows how to explain things in a way that our kids could understand. He was also able to identify where the kids needed extra support and give us some tools to help. Chris has a very warm and approachable manner that put us all at ease. Our son was extremely resistant to the idea of a tutor, but after the first meeting he completely changed his tune. We highly recommended Chris!

About Homework Coach & Homework Coach Tutoring

A Homework Coach is an educational professional who supports students with their homework. They are tasked with helping students understand and complete their assignments while also developing study habits, time-management skills, and self-sufficiency in the learning process.

Description

Homework Coaches differ from traditional tutors in that they focus on fostering independent learning and problem-solving skills rather than just providing answers or instruction in a specific subject area. They work with students to identify obstacles that impede their ability to complete homework, as well as to establish effective study routines and strategies.

Type of Homework Coach

Homework Coaches can be generalists, covering a broad range of subjects and skills, or they can specialize in particular subjects or learning needs, such as math, science, reading, or students with learning disabilities. Some Homework Coaches might also specialize in exam preparation or in working with specific age groups, such as elementary school children or high school students.

The Best Strategy for Tutoring Homework Coach to Someone Who Struggles with the Subject

When tutoring someone who struggles with homework, it is best to adopt a personalized and patient approach. Start by building a rapport and understanding the student's specific challenges, whether they are conceptual misunderstandings, organizational issues, or motivational barriers. Teach the student how to break down assignments into manageable parts, prioritize tasks, and set realistic goals. Encouraging active learning, such as summarizing information in their own words, can facilitate better retention and understanding. Regularly reviewing their progress and providing positive feedback can reinforce good habits and build confidence.

Most Common Concepts and Most Difficult Concepts in Homework Coach

Common concepts in Homework Coaching include developing organizational skills, time management, goal setting, concentration techniques, and learning styles. Coaches often teach students to use planners, to-do lists, and to create effective study environments.

The most difficult concepts may be those that involve cognition and metacognition, such as teaching students to think about how they learn, to identify their strengths and weaknesses, and to develop self-motivation. These are often more abstract and require students to reflect on their own thought processes, which can be challenging but also very rewarding when mastered.

Homework: Only Review What You Need to Review

• Share article

A lot of teachers think that if you assign homework, you must review it with students the following day. This makes sense in that it’s important for students to correct and learn from their mistakes.

But what if they didn’t make any mistakes? I realize it’s unlikely every student will have the correct answer for any given question. Yet even if only half the class got it right, what should those students do while you review something they already know how to do? Well, I can tell you what they did in my classroom before I changed my approach: they talked or slept or worked on assignments for other classes.

The root of the problem is the same as what I described in the context of class openers (or Do Nows ): teachers reviewing an assignment without knowing whether students need them to review it. In extreme cases, teachers go over every homework assignment, beginning to end. I’m reminded of my high school math teacher working through problem after problem on the board, oblivious to snoozing and socializing students.

Then there are those teachers who act like disc jockeys by taking audience requests: “What questions would you like me to go over?” And if just one kid requests #3, the teacher reviews #3. Same goes for #4, #5, and so on. I did this until it backfired for a couple of reasons. First, just because Michael needs you to review #3 doesn’t mean Maria and Marcus do, which is why many students don’t pay attention when teachers use the DJ approach. Second, if students want to keep you from moving on to the next activity, all they have to do is request another question. And if you think kids won’t play you like this, think again. Nothing rankled me more than students asking me to go over problems, and then yakking or putting their heads on their desks as I obliged them.

Of course, you can’t look over students’ shoulders while they’re doing homework, so you’ll need to identify in class those homework questions most students need you to review. And here’s a great way to do this:

As you wrap up the class opener, show the answers to homework on your interactive whiteboard or projector screen. Then give students five minutes or so to check their answers and troubleshoot their errors, while you circulate to identify questions worth reviewing as a class (i.e., those most students struggled with)--and identify students to present the correct solutions to the class.

This process not only saves time, but also improves student learning. By working backward from the correct answers, students often figure out where they went wrong, and have a better grasp of the material as a result. And in the end, you’ll have fewer questions to review as a class, and a more captive audience for those questions you do need to review--as captive as any DJ could hope for!

20 Reasons Why Homework is Good

Check out 20 reasons why homework is good:-

1. Reinforcement of Classroom Learning

Homework isn’t just a mundane task; it’s your secret weapon for becoming a true subject matter aficionado. It’s the place where classroom theories transform into real-world skills. 

Homework, in all its wisdom, lets you roll up your sleeves and practice what you’ve learned in class, turning those lightbulb moments into permanent knowledge fixtures.

Just like a musician perfecting a melody or an artist refining their masterpiece, homework is your training ground for excellence. So, embrace it, for every assignment is a stepping stone on your path to mastery.

2. Development of Responsibility 

Homework isn’t just about books and assignments; it’s a grooming ground for something equally important – responsibility.

It’s like a trusty mentor, teaching students to take charge, manage their time, and complete tasks independently.

It’s that early taste of adulthood, where you learn that success often depends on your own commitment and effort.

So, think of homework as your guide on the journey to becoming a responsible, self-reliant individual, armed with skills that will serve you well in all walks of life.

3. Improved Time Management Skills 

Homework is more than just assignments; it’s a boot camp for one of life’s essential skills – time management. Think of it as a mini dress rehearsal for adulthood.

Homework teaches students to allocate their time wisely, ensuring they meet deadlines and complete tasks efficiently. It’s like learning to juggle multiple balls, a skill that will serve them well in their adult lives. So, embrace homework as your friendly time-management coach, preparing you for the real world’s challenges.

4. Enhanced Critical Thinking

Homework is not just about finding answers; it’s your secret laboratory for unleashing the power of critical thinking.

It’s the arena where you get to be the detective, dissect problems, and engineer ingenious solutions. Think of it as mental gymnastics, where your cognitive muscles get a thorough workout.

The more you dive into those homework challenges, the sharper your critical thinking skills become. So, consider homework your daily brain boot camp, molding you into a savvy problem-solver with talents that extend way beyond the classroom.

5. Preparation for the Future

Homework isn’t just about cracking textbooks; it’s your sneak peek into the future. Think of it as your personal time machine, where you’re not just solving equations but honing skills that will propel you to success in higher education and the professional arena.

It’s like laying the stepping stones to your dream career. From mastering time management to sharpening critical thinking, homework is your trusted mentor, preparing you for the exciting journey ahead.

So, when you’re poring over those assignments, remember – you’re not just studying, you’re shaping a future filled with possibilities.

6. Encouragement of Self-Discipline 

Homework isn’t just about filling out worksheets; it’s the canvas on which students paint their self-discipline and self-motivation masterpieces.

It’s like training for life’s grand adventure. With homework, you’re the captain, setting sail on a sea of assignments.

Completing homework isn’t merely about meeting deadlines; it’s about cultivating skills that become your secret weapons in the real world.

So, think of homework as your personal training ground for self-discipline, sculpting you into a resilient and motivated individual who’s ready to conquer life’s challenges.

7. Review of Material

Homework isn’t just an additional task; it’s your golden opportunity to revisit and cement what you’ve learned in class.

Think of it as your personal review session, where you go through the key points and solidify your understanding. Just as an artist refines their masterpiece or a musician practices their chords, homework is your tool for perfection.

The more you review and consolidate, the stronger your grasp on the subject matter becomes. So, embrace homework as your trusted ally in mastering the art of revision, making you a confident and knowledgeable learner.

8. Practice Makes Perfect

Homework isn’t a chore; it’s your backstage pass to perfection. It’s like the endless rehearsals of a musician or the tireless drills of an athlete.

Homework is your playground for practice, where you can fine-tune your skills, ensuring you become a true master in various subjects. Just as a chef perfects a recipe through repetition, your homework is the recipe for excellence.

So, when you’re diving into those assignments, think of them as your chance to practice, practice, and practice some more, turning you into a subject maestro.

9. Teacher-Student Interaction

Homework isn’t just about cracking the books; it’s your backstage pass to building strong connections with your teachers.

It’s like sending an open invitation to ask questions and seek guidance. Homework transforms the student-teacher relationship from a formal handshake into a hearty conversation.

When you embrace homework, you’re not just solving problems; you’re forging connections that can last a lifetime.

So, think of homework as your golden opportunity for dialogue, where you can foster positive relationships with your teachers and make your educational journey all the more engaging and rewarding.

10. Parental Involvement

Homework isn’t just a student’s duty; it’s a chance for families to bond over learning. It’s like the thread that weaves the classroom and home together, allowing parents to actively participate in their child’s education.

Homework transforms the learning experience into a shared adventure where everyone can join in the fun. When parents dive into homework with their kids, it’s not just about helping with math problems.

It’s about creating moments of connection, offering support, and sharing in the educational journey. So, think of homework as the gateway to family engagement in education, making learning a joyful family affair.

11. Real-Life Application

Homework isn’t just about hitting the books; it’s your backstage pass to making knowledge practical. It’s like a secret bridge that connects the world of theory with the realm of real-life application.

Homework transforms you from a passive learner into an active doer. It’s where you take those classroom ideas and put them into action, just like a scientist testing a hypothesis or an engineer building a bridge.

So, consider homework your personal laboratory for bringing theories to life, where you turn bookish knowledge into real-world magic, making your education a thrilling adventure.

12. Different Learning Styles 

Homework isn’t a one-size-fits-all deal; it’s more like a treasure map that caters to diverse learning styles. Imagine it as a chameleon, changing its colors to suit both visual and kinesthetic learners.

Homework knows that we’re all unique, with our own special ways of learning. For those who thrive on visuals, it serves up graphs and illustrations, while the hands-on learners get to dive into practical tasks.

It’s a bit like having a tailor-made suit for education. So, consider homework your personal guide, offering a learning experience that’s as unique as you are, making education a captivating and natural journey.

But, remember, like any tool, homework works best when used wisely. Too much of a good thing can lead to stress, so strike that balance, and make homework your learning ally.

Who invented homework 😡?

The roots of homework can be traced back to a frustrated Italian educator, Roberto Nevilis, who lived in the 17th century.

He was perplexed by his students’ struggles to retain their classroom lessons, and so, he devised a novel solution – homework.

By assigning tasks that required students to practice and reinforce what they’d learned in class, Nevilis hoped to bridge the knowledge gap. His ingenious idea didn’t stop at the classroom door; it spread like wildfire, first across Europe and eventually finding its way to the United States.

While Nevilis is often credited with inventing homework, history leaves some room for debate. Some scholars argue that homework may have had earlier incarnations in ancient Greece and Rome, although concrete evidence is scarce.

What’s more likely is that Nevilis was among the first to formalize the concept of homework as we understand it today.

No matter its true origin, homework has become an integral part of education worldwide. It spans across the spectrum, from the youngest elementary students to those pursuing higher education.

The purpose of homework has also evolved over time. While Nevilis initially introduced homework to help students retain information, today, its role is multifaceted. It serves as a training ground for critical thinking, problem-solving, and nurturing creativity.

Whether you view homework as a boon or a bane, one thing is certain – it has a rich and varied history, and it’s likely to continue shaping the educational landscape for the foreseeable future.

Why is homework good for your brain?

Homework isn’t just about completing assignments; it’s a brain-boosting wizard. Let’s delve into the captivating reasons why homework is a mind-enhancing elixir:

Fortifying Neural Pathways

Imagine your brain as a labyrinth of pathways. When you learn something new, it’s like carving a fresh trail. Homework? It’s your trusty path-paver, helping you practice and reinforce what you’ve learned. This makes recalling information a breeze down the road.

Mastering Executive Function Skills

Executive function skills are like your brain’s personal assistants. They help you plan, organize, and manage your time effectively.

Homework transforms you into the CEO of your tasks, requiring you to set goals, juggle priorities, and work independently.

Cultivating Cognitive Flexibility

Ever wished you could tackle problems from various angles? That’s cognitive flexibility, a superpower for your brain. Homework serves as the playground where you can flex your mental muscles, applying your knowledge to novel challenges.

Boosting Self-Efficacy

Self-efficacy is your belief in your own success. Homework is your arena for personal victories. Achieving your homework goals and witnessing your growth over time? That’s a confidence booster like no other.

Stress Alleviation

While homework might occasionally seem like a stress-inducing monster, it’s also your coach for the stress-relief Olympics. How?

It equips you with the skills to tackle challenges and manage your time wisely, ultimately reducing stress in the long run.

But, here’s the catch: balance is key. Too much homework can tip the scales. To maximize the magical benefits, you need to find harmony between homework and other essential activities like sleep, exercise, and hanging out with friends.

In a nutshell, homework isn’t just about completing assignments; it’s your secret weapon for unlocking your brain’s potential. It boosts learning and memory, nurtures executive function skills, hones cognitive flexibility, elevates self-efficacy, and even helps you conquer stress.

As we draw the curtain on our exploration of the twenty compelling reasons that make homework a valuable asset, it’s evident that homework is more than just a to-do list. It’s a treasure trove of advantages that students can unearth on their academic journey.

From fortifying those neural pathways to nurturing independence, and from honing research skills to prepping for the challenges that await in the future, homework is a versatile tool. It’s the canvas where creativity flourishes, bridging the gap between theory and practice, and inviting parents into their child’s scholastic odyssey.

Homework doesn’t just aid in academic mastery; it’s a comprehensive roadmap for personal growth and development. It nudges you towards self-discipline, sprinkles in a dash of responsibility, and offers a slice of the sweet taste of accomplishment.

However, as in any art, balance is key. The right amount of homework, harmonized with other life activities, is the secret recipe for success.

So, as you tackle your next homework assignment, remember this: you’re not just completing tasks; you’re shaping a brighter future, one thought at a time.

We succeed by training the best homework coaches

Many years of running a successful tutoring business have taught us how to recognize strong homework tutors. They are typically — but not always — young college graduates who have done well in school themselves and now seek an opportunity to help others succeed. They quite likely are not employed in education but will have had some experience working with young people, perhaps as a teaching assistant or in their college tutoring center, or as a sports coach.

All coaches are trained on our HomeworkCoach methodology developed in conjunction with a lifelong learning specialist, and receive ongoing supervision and skills enhancement. Our tools include our proprietary 10-lesson Executive Function e-learning course.

Note that your coach will probably not be a learning specialist or ADHD behavioral therapist. Such experts typically have their own offices and (higher) fee schedule. We believe a nurturing upbeat individual, proven to be a good organized student themselves, can be trained to be an effective homework coach who will make a real difference to your child’s grades and attitudes towards homework.

We interview each homework coach, check references, and ask them to undergo a criminal background check or provide evidence of a recent check. Parents receive full credentials and talk to the tutor via telephone before the first session. In addition we guarantee the first meeting. If you have any reservations about your homework coach, we will assign you an alternate coach and you will not be expected to pay for that session.

The Homework Coach: Using Your Brain To Improve Learning (And Grades)

(1988) 58 m. Color. $99 (until April 1, 1989). Academic Edge. Public performance rights included. Vol. 3, Issue 7

by Randy Pitman

October 1, 1988

Rating: 4 of 5

Any student who doesn't pay attention to this program should be checked for vital signs. The brainchild of teacher Sylvia Robinson, The HomeWork Coach is a comprehensive course on study skills for increased academic performance. Using the OC5R system: Organize, Overview, Read, Recite, Review, Relate, and Regulate, students are given both an in-depth tour of how the brain works, and a thorough review of basic study principles that have been accepted and promoted for years. The twist in this program is...well...a program. An AI talking head named Tondor (whose voice bears an uncanny resemblance to Rutger Hauer's) explains all the principles. Tondor wears sunglasses; has an array of changing, colorful screens behind his head; and does not quite synch with lips and voice (Max Headroom style, only with much more content). Low-key background synthesizer music keeps the program moving along in hypnotic fashion. What's really surprising is that none of this comes across as a gimmick. Tondor's voice and presence carries both authority and inspiration--which is precisely what is needed to hold students' attention. In addition to the study guidelines, there is an extensive section on taking notes (with a helpful shorthand notation system), and approaching both essay and objective tests. A final hint about cheating as a "dumb move" is so off-handedly and convincingly delivered, that it would be hard to picture a student watching this tape boasting to fellow class­mates that he/she cheated on a test. An excellent program, with an ingenious method for grabbing student's interest (or anyone's, for that matter), and holding it. Study guide included. Highly recommended for school and larger public libraries. (Available from: Academic Edge, Stratford Plaza One, Suite 79, 127 South Stratford Road, Winston-Salem, NC 27104.)
