The Florida Learning Network: Free Virtual Tutoring for Students
The Florida Learning Network provides students homework help when they need it. Whether students are struggling with subject-related concepts or need assistance with weak skill areas, tutors are available through the convenience of the Internet. Students can connect with a tutor from home, after-school programs, and the library—anywhere there is an Internet connection. Florida Learning Network is a collection of online resources for students in grades K-12. Tutoring and guidance in accordance with Sunshine State Standards is provided for mathematics, science, reading, and social studies at no cost.
Florida Learning Network provides students with these resources:
- Real-time, online tutoring through an electronic whiteboard provided by trained tutors
- Searchable educational content designed to assist with homework and projects
- Monitored bulletin board with educational content provided by students, mentors, parents, and teachers
- Links to select educational Web sites
