ONLINE SCIENCE TUTORING
“ With Smarthinking
we are able
to offer online
tutoring in a
wide range
of disciplines
with extensive
operating hours.
Access to online
tutoring provides
help for students
who can’t take
advantage of
our on campus
resources during
the day—support
we simply could
not offer without
this partnership.
In addition
to expanded
access, feedback
demonstrates
that students are
extremely pleased
with the service
provided by
Smarthinking’s
educators.”

Tutors and students work on your assignments and your curriculum. Our tutors do not provide complete solutions—they guide students, with the goal of facilitating insight. Students gain the understanding to complete assignments on their own.

Smarthinking has won the prestigious CODiE Award for Best Instruction Solution for Students at Home,
given by the Software & Information Industry Association (SIIA). This award recognizes Smarthinking
as the best educational technology system to extend traditional learning outside the classroom.
This honor confirms Smarthinking’s mission that high quality academic support can be delivered
on demand, any time, via the internet.
“ This is a great
service. I didn’t
have to stop doing
my homework
to get the help that
I needed and the
tutor didn’t
do the work for
me. He helped
me to do it myself.
So now I am
better prepared
for my class.”

a versatile palette of instructional tools to help students visualize problems and gain greater
understanding. Smarthinking also tutors students in a related subject, Introduction to Human
Anatomy & Physiology. Here, a Smarthinking tutor (in grey) guides a student (in maroon) through
