schoolhouse.world

For students who want extra live tutoring for Khan Academy or any high school math courses, we recommend schoolhouse.world. Schoolhouse.world is a live tutoring resource aimed at high schoolers - especially those using Khan Academy - with special support for college preparation in the form of SAT prep and mastery certifications. According to the site itself, Sal Khan of Khan Academy co-founded schoolhouse.world amid COVID-19 and the struggles "to get personalized help and dig deep into problems." Students can sign up for small group tutoring sessions, led by a diverse team of volunteers from all over the world and carefully monitored to ensure the safety of all participants. Students who are taking Khan Academy courses will appreciate this extra resource, as well as those who just want extra help with their math courses or SATs. Students can sign up and attend sessions independently (without much parent supervision), all tutors undergo a comprehensive vetting and training process, and all sessions adhere to a set of core safety guidelines. While all tutors are proficient in the material and in teaching, they having varying backgrounds and experience, and are all volunteers. All students must be at least 13 years old, and currently only high school level math is supported.

Grades: 7th, 8th, 9th, 10th, 11th, 12th

Cost: Tutoring is entirely free - students just need to sign up and attend sessions.
