TutorVista.com Brings Live Homework Help and Electric Reference Materials to Public Libraries



www.tutorvista.com/libraries

TutorVista.com announced the launch of its live one-on-one homework help program for public libraries in the U.S. and Canada.

TutorVista's Library Advantage Program is unique in that it provides both voice-based live tutoring and text/chat-based tutoring. Students can use TutorVista's voice-over-IP (VoIP) capabilities to talk naturally with a tutor where permitted in the library or at the students' homes. Voice-based tutoring is five times faster and engages more senses than typing-based tutoring. Tutor and student share virtual whiteboard on their screen where each can see what the other writes or draws.

In addition to affordable, live tutoring, the Library Advantage Program makes the company's library of math and science simulations, animations, videos and study aids available to students around the clock.

With TutorVista's new program for libraries, students log in using a library card, specify the grade and subject in which they need help, and gain immediate access to a tutor.
