IDOE says it is partnering with Schoolhouse.world, a free, online, peer-to-peer tutoring service.
The nonprofit connects students with live, small group tutoring through Zoom. The education department says support focuses on SAT reading, writing and math. The math focus ranges from pre-algebra to statistics. Schoolhouse.world also provides a wide range of support for AP courses, including calculus, statistics and chemistry.
“All students learn differently, and many need some level of extra support at different points in time,” said Dr. Katie Jenner, Indiana Secretary of Education. “This partnership provides access to personalized tutoring 24/7 at the click of a mouse. As we work to recover from significant learning impacts due to COVID-19, particularly in mathematics, this partnership with Schoolhouse.world will provide Hoosier students — no matter where they are or the needs they face — access to additional learning support.”
Schoolhouse.world was launched in early 2020 by Sal Khan, also founder of Khan Academy, in response to COVID-19 learning disruptions. Learn more by clicking here.
