Free, online tutoring available for K-12 students. South Dakota students and families can access a new, online tutoring program, staffed by college students who are preparing to become teachers.

One-on-one tutoring sessions can help students with their homework, tackle specific trouble areas, and address broader educational concepts. More information specifically for teachers will be available in coming days. Please note: In order to access the service, parents or guardians must register their students, not the school.
