Live Homework Help®

Get free homework help online via our Live Homework Help tutoring service. Live Homework Help connects students in grades K through 12th , College intro, as well and Adult Learners to expert tutors in math, science, social studies, and English. The service is available in Español.

Hours

Live Homework Help is available through San Bernardino Public Library both in the library and remotely via the library website daily 1 p.m. - 10 p.m. for SBPL library cardholders with Internet access. During the hours when a tutor isn't available, the SkillsCenter Resource Library™ offers thousands of worksheets, tutorials, resource guides and other info all the time. The adult learner module offers assistance in resume preparation, GED and U.S. Citizenship test preparation and other information. All three modules during the hours a tutor is available offer Proof Point™ where an English tutor can review documents for punctuation, grammar, spelling and other issues.

Live Homework Help is closed on July 4, Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year's Day.

How It Works

Using your library card number, students log on from computers at home or at the library, and enter the grade level and subject you need help in. You are then connected to the first available subject expert tutor in an Online Classroom. Try it now.

Students and tutors work together in an online classroom using controlled chat and an interactive white board. You can send computer files, such as essays, to the tutor for review and assistance, and share educational website.
