    AACPS Virtual Tutoring for Middle & High School Students:

    AACPS will provide FREE Middle and High School evening Virtual Homework Help and Tutoring for targeted subjects in Math, English, World Languages, Social Studies, Science, AVID and ESOL. Interested students from across the county can sign up for tutoring or simply drop-in for homework help. It would be great if we asked teachers to offer this system-wide free tutoring to all their students as this service is for all middle and high school students.

    Virtual Homework Help will be a drop-in Google Meet environment while Tutoring is an appointment-driven small group virtual setting.  Information and sign-up procedures can be found on our tutoring website at www.aacps.org/tutoring.

Qualified tutors in Math, Science, English and Social Studies can help students complete a math problem, understand a physics concept or revise their writing assignment – among other tasks. Essays can be sent to the Writing Lab any time via email and a tutor will provide feedback within 24 hours.
