Introducing Homework Help!

Homework Help provides free, real-time help to our students taking Grade 7 to 10 Mathematics. It allows them to get help after school hours, when teachers or parents are unavailable to help. It can help students with answering homework questions, reviewing material from previous grades, and studying for tests, exams or the EQAO tests. But remember – it is “homework help” not “homework do” – the tutors are there to support the students and work through questions to help them be more confident learners and better understand the math.

The Tutor Chat Rooms are open 5 nights a week, for 4 hours each night, and can be accessed as much or as little as needed. Besides the Chat Rooms, there are other tools available on the website as well:

Anyone can create a Guest account & have access to all parts of the website, except the ability to ask questions of the tutors. Students can create an anonymous account using their OEN (Ontario Education Number).
