YourTutor is available for Richmond Tweed Regional Library families thanks to supportive sponsorship from Southern Cross University.

Yourtutor creates an online classroom where students are connected to qualified, expert tutors for one to one help with homework, assignments, exam preparation and study questions.

English, Maths and Science subjects are included and the service is available 4pm-8pm, Monday to Friday from either library or home computers. Help is immediate, professional and secure and it’s free to library members. Students in Years 4-12, simply log on to the library’s website www.rtrl.nsw.gov.au and click on the link to access the program.

Tutors are certified teachers, professional tutors, post graduates and advanced undergraduates from Australian universities. They can review specific homework and assignment questions with students online, using features like controlled chat, an interactive white board and shared web browsing.

Students can now communicate with tutors the way they love to learn – via the internet- which makes the experience enjoyable as well as educational.
