Free online tutoring for school students





Did you know that anyone with a Gilgandra library card can log in to a free online tutoring service? It is called yourtutor, and the Library pays an annual subscription fee which allows all library members free access to the service.

How does it work?

*It operates Monday to Friday, from 4pm-8pm.

*It is designed to help students from Years 4-12.

*You log in with a particular question you need help with, and a tutor will work with you to find the answer, via instant messaging, an online whiteboard, and links.

* Do you have a library card? If not, call in at the Library to join, or get a new card. Those under 18 need to be enrolled by a parent or guardian.

* Go to http://nwls.spydus.com/
*Scroll down until you see the yourtutor logo, as above.

*Click on the word "here".

* Where it says GILGANDRA borrowers click here, click "here".

*Type in your library card number.

*Select your year level.

*Select your subject.

*You will be connected with a tutor, whom you can talk to via instant messaging on the screen.


We hope you like this service!
