Homework Help
Homework Help - https://homeworkhelp.ilc.org/secure/login.php
is a free site promoted on the Ministry of Education website. They provide an
overview of Homework help which is run by TVO's Independent Learning
Centre with support from the Ontario Ontario
Students do not have to be
embarrassed to ask questions as the tutor is only given the student’s username
not his or her real name. Questions are answered in order but students do
not have wait for their response. An alarm will let them know when they
can access the tutor, allowing them to move onto other things, like their other homework, reading or listening
to music.
This is a great tool for students
who may not have access to a paid tutor. Students in rural areas often
cannot find qualified math tutors and can access the services they need.
There are also benefits for the student who does not always need help but
occasional support. A tutor can help talk them through a question that is
challenging - especially when a parent is unable to help.
Even though
live support services are limited to evenings from Sunday to Thursday, there
are a number of resources permanently available to students, parents and
teachers. The site's "Best Sessions" include sample step by
step lessons, over 300 videos of past tutor-student chats as
well as practice test questions sessions. The resources can be used by
those needing support in math but also by students with a firm grasp of
mathematical concepts but are looking to be challenged.
