Military service members and their dependents around the world can now work with a certified, professional tutor online 24/7 to get help with homework, studying, test prep, resume writing, and more, the minute they need it, thanks to a Department of Defense (DoD) funded contract with Tutor.com. Students of any age, from kindergartners to high school seniors, as well as adult learners, may use the service to connect to an expert tutor for one-to-one help in math, science, social studies and English, as well as assistance with resume writing and even interview preparation.

This helps ALOT! Thank you!!,” wrote a Fort Hood Army student in a comment left after his tutoring session.
