eTutoring offers live (synchronous) tutoring using a chat room-like setting in all of the subjects listed above, except writing.  For help with writing, you can submit a paper and an eTutor will review it, usually within 24 hours, returning it with expert advice and suggestions for improving your writing. For all subjects, you can also submit a question on the website anytime and anywhere you have access to the Internet and an eTutor will respond, again, usually within 24 hours.

As with any legitimate tutoring service, eTutoring will not write your paper for you, nor will they do your homework problems for you. What they will do is help you to improve your own writing or help you with the "how" of solving a problem.

About eTutoring:

Three Rivers is a part of the Northeast eTutoring Consortium, affiliated with the Connecticut Distance Learning Consortium. eTutoring is a collaborative effort by the Connecticut Community Colleges, the Connecticut State Universities, as well as several other colleges and universities throughout Connecticut, the schools in the Vermont Community College system, and other colleges in Massachusetts, New York, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania.

Each member institution supplies tutors and contributes to the program and all students at the schools are eligible to share all of the schools' tutors. The number of tutors supplied by each school depends on that school's level of usage.

The online tutoring program used to use the Smarthinking™ online tutoring platform (a commercial online tutoring service), where we rented the use of their software and servers, but supplied our own tutors. In 2006, though, staff at the CTDLC created their own platform, the (constantly evolving) eTutoring platform we now use.

Several colleges in Washington State were previously in our program, but have split to form their own group, the Northwest eTutoring Consortium, using the same eTutoring platform, but with their own group of tutors. They expect to add other colleges in Washington and Oregon in the near future.

Additional information is available on the CTDLC website.
