A free online tutoring program that helps public school students with math problems in real time will be available to community college students for the first time starting this fall. Officials hope the expansion will help students who leave high school unprepared for the rigors of college-level math. The Online Learning Academy, whose tutors are University of Hawaii math and science students, was launched three years ago as a way to provide one-on-one help to public school students, especially those in rural areas. So far this school year, the academy has provided more than 3,000 tutoring sessions to 755 students. That’s up from about 2,000 sessions last school year and fewer than 1,000 the year before.
