Parents can help with a lot of homework assignments. But, at a certain point, almost everyone has trouble remembering the periodic table or recalling Algebraic formulas.

Luckily, many school-aged children and teens are now able to get the help they need online.

Fosters.com reports:

"…Parents in Alabama and a growing number of other states no longer need fear homework helplessness. Thanks to the spread of online tutoring services that are now increasingly free, courtesy of government and private funds, stumped students can reach out to resourceful tutors across the U.S. and in some cases around the world.

The number of libraries offering free online tutoring has snowballed as libraries look to make long-lasting connections with their communities, said Jan Sanders, who directs the Pasadena library system in California."

Online tutoring programs are a great service and have the potential to really even out the playing field for students. Assuming they have access to the internet, these young learners will be able to get the help they need, regardless of their parents' involvement or education levels.
