The team at Graduate!CT knows that balancing life and school work can be difficult which can directly affect grades. It is important to be proactive and sometimes that means asking for help. There are many ways to reach out – you can ask a friend, family member, or check out to see if your school offers any free tutoring assistance.
However, we know that you might have obligations at home and/or work and receiving help online may be the most realistic and effective solution. www.eTutoring.org is an online tutoring service provided by the Connecticut Distance Learning Consortium (CTDLC). This platform allows tutors to work with students in a variety of ways – all from the comfort of your own home.
There are four distinct features about the CTDLC’s eTutoring service. eQuestions hosts online questions submission while eWriting is an writing lab that allows for interaction among students and tutors. eChat is a live communication terminal which offers a live chat tool, whiteboard, the ability to share files and application in addition to audio and video tools. Finally, there is a component that provides additional resources for students and includes a collection of tips, techniques and helpful links.
