Back to School with Tutor.com! 
Private tutoring and tutoring centers are expensive, but for many students, the one-to-one attention a tutor provides can make a huge difference in their school performance and their confidence. Give your students a leg up without spending an arm and a leg by introducing them to Tutor.com through the library. 

Tutor.com provides on-demand, one-to-one tutoring in an online classroom for students in kindergarten through college in over 60 academic subjects and test preparation areas, including the ACT and SAT.  The Tutor.com Learning Suite also includes practice quizzes, skills drills, video lessons, and The Princeton Review Essentials test preparation. Tutors are available 3pm-10pm, 7 days a week. To access the service, visit www.pspl.org/elibrary, and find Tutor.com under "Education, Technology, Test Preparation."  Create an account with your library card and PIN. 

One-on-one tutoring is available online 3pm-10pm, 7 days a week, through Tutor.com!
