Hotmath Introduces Live Online Math Tutoring
KENSINGTON, CA — DECEMBER 1, 2008 — Eighty-four percent of students would rather take out the trash, clean their rooms, or go to the dentist than do their math homework, according to a survey from the National Mathematics Advisory Panel. To help make homework a positive experience for students, Hotmath, Inc., the leading provider of all-in-one math homework help, announces the addition of live online math tutoring to Hotmath.com. This new service builds on existing math homework help resources to offer students the support they need to succeed in mathematics.
Live online math tutoring connects students instantly with professional math tutors, who offer help on topics ranging from pre-algebra to calculus. For questions on homework, or help when studying, students can click the “Ask-a-Tutor” button to discuss the problem with a math tutor. Communication takes place online through an interactive whiteboard where visual aids such as drawings, graphs and mathematical steps can be displayed. Through the immediate assistance provided by live online tutoring, students are able to successfully complete their required homework with greater understanding.
“Middle school, high school and college students spend anywhere from 30 minutes to more than three hours on math homework each school night,” said Chuck Grant, co-founder of Hotmath. “Away from class, students may not receive help at home or be able to attend tutoring sessions. With the introduction of tutoring, Hotmath.com offers students the math help they need, when they need it, and studies show that students’ scores improve when online tutoring is provided.”
In addition to live tutoring, Hotmath offers an online subscription service that furnishes step-by-step solutions to odd-numbered homework problems in popular math textbooks. The service covers textbooks used by more than 90 percent of today’s middle school, high school and college classrooms, and studies show these explanations give students a better understanding of the material, helping them solve the remaining even-numbered problems. Hotmath step-by-step solutions also serve as a valuable resource for parents, as many feel unsure about helping their children with math. If more help is needed, parents can now provide their children access to online tutoring.
Hotmath offers other resources to help students complete their math homework, including tutorial videos, reference materials, and learning activities. The company also provides free practice tests, math workbooks, graphing calculator tutorials, and math games to ensure all students improve their academic performance in mathematics.
Easy to access and affordable, live math tutoring from Hotmath starts at less than $20 per hour for schools and districts.
