In addition to online resource documents and links available 24 hours a day, professional tutors are available from 4-11pm in 40 subjects, including AP courses and SAT/ACT prep.

“We believe a library’s mission is to help build stronger communities, and Tutor.com is another resource which allows us to provide learning solutions for patrons of all ages,” noted Old Bridge Library Director Nancy Cohen. “We have received outstanding feedback from our patrons who have used the service and are eager to promote it to an ever greater audience.”

According to Tutor.com, 90 percent of users get better grades, feel more confident  and complete their homework on time. Old Bridge Library patrons agree. “Tutor.com is a great source for kids to get better grades,” said Aprille Reynolds, 12, of Old Bridge. “I love Tutor.com. The tutors really helped me understand my homework. I tell all my friends to use it.”

Accessing Tutor.com is simple. Library patrons go to www.oldbridgelibrary.org and click on the Tutor.com link. They are then instructed to enter their library card number and will be directed to a wide array of services. Free assistance is available in numerous subject areas, including algebra, calculus, statistics, chemistry, physics, biology, anatomy & physiology, literature, essay writing, US & World History, and AP classes in European history, government, politics and statistics.

“Tutor.com also allows us to reach out to teens, showing them that the library is much more than just a building with thousands of books, but instead a  of services they can all use,” explained Cohen. “I encourage students in the community to log onto this site whenever they need extra assistance and to spread the word to their friends as well.”
