Virtual Tutoring
TN eCampus offers students a free virtual tutoring resource. Students receive tutoring help through live tutoring or offline for follow up later. Students receive individual instruction and support from expert tutors across a wide variety of subjects—up to 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
How does tutoring help?
Tutoring establishes a welcoming environment. Tutoring engages and empowers students where they are. Tutors will not give answers to problems or do the work, but they will help students become independent learners. Tutoring Overview (new window)
From any TN eCampus course, choose the Virtual Tutoring link from Course Resources widget on the right side of the page.
