Bristol Community College students studying at any hour of the day or night can now receive help from a tutor through a new online program launched by the college this summer. The service, which is run by a company called Smarthinking, offers more than 1,000 tutors on staff worldwide to help students at any time of day on nearly any subject. Students can also arrange for one-on-one tutoring sessions or simply post questions to have answered. There are also live tutorials, writing manuals, sample problems and research links — all available wherever a student is studying with an Internet connection. “Learning is often a 24-hour endeavor,” said April Bellafiore, BCC’s dean of e-learning. “Having access to these resources is really valuable to these students.”
