Skilled tutors stand ready at no cost to help students in Eastern Oregon with homework, writing, resume-building, G.E.D. assistance, citizenship tests and other studies. Students from kindergarten through 12th grade, homeschoolers, those in introductory-level college courses and adult learners can request a free pass code from local public libraries that will enable them to access the free tutoring service. Live, online tutoring services have been made available for this school year with funding from the Libraries of Eastern Oregon (LEO) and several area public libraries, the organization said in press release. The service is available in 15 rural counties, including Wallowa County, and with the free pass code or a library card it can be accessed by anyone seven days per week, from 2 to 10 p.m., via an Internet connection. “We’re seeing more and more people of all ages use the service,” said Lyn Craig, LEO executive director. “Last year we had just over 300 tutoring sessions. We’re already up to 249 user sessions since the start of this school year. That’s encouraging.”
