FREE MATH TUTORING FOR IDAHO STUDENTS
Idaho middle and high school students who want to catch up on learning or get ahead can now use a new resource called schoolhouse.world for free online tutoring in math.
Students can join live Zoom tutoring sessions with small groups, for help with pre-algebra, algebra, geometry, trigonometry, precalculus, calculus, statistics and SAT prep. The platform could also expand to other topics.
Students have to be at least 13 years old to participate and all sessions are free. The platform was created by online education mogul Sal Khan when the COVID-19 pandemic hit and forced students around the world into online education.
