TERRE HAUTE — For middle and high school math and science students looking for help with homework, Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology’s offers a free tutoring service via phone, email or chat session.
Rose-Hulman students are available from 7 to 10 p.m. Sunday through Thursday during the school year to help sixth- through 12th-graders review math and science concepts.
Connections can be made at 877-275-7673 or at AskRose.org.
“With AskRose easily available, students should never feel ‘stuck’ when it comes to their math and science homework. Help is available from approximately 30 tutors each night,” AskRose Director Susan Smith Roads wrote in a press release.
AskRose has been helping youth for 27 years, under its former Homework Hotline name, conducting more than 650,000 tutoring sessions nationwide.
The new name highlights the services offered in addition to phone tutoring, which include chat tutoring, email tutoring and more than 500 resources available at AskRose.org.
The online resources include tutorial videos and other downloadable reference materials.
Services are available at no cost to students or parents through a Lilly Endowment Inc. grant and financial assistance from Rose-Hulman.
Tutors work to ensure each student understands the steps taken to solve a math or science problem. Then, the student should feel comfortable answering similar challenges in class and on exams.
“We’re an additional educational resource for today’s hardworking and dedicated math and science teachers and school administrators,” wrote AskRose Associate Director Lindsay Hull, a former high school math teacher.
