In addition to providing help for all students – kindergarten through adult education, and college students – the service hours have expanded to 8am-11pm, every day. The new Live Homework Help classroom is an online place to receive assistance in math, science, English and social studies. Assistance in Spanish is offered in the subject areas of math, sciece and social studies.
New to the service are college entrance practice tests like ACT and SAT, graduate school exams like GRE and LSAT, Advanced Placement, ASVAB and TOEFL, and GED prep tests.
HomeworkKansas will also offer assistance with job searches, sample resumes and cover letters, financial literacy and assistance with proofreading of papers.
HomeworkKansas is powered by www.tutor.com and a service of the Lawrence Public Library, Kan-ed (www.kan-ed.org) and the State Library of Kansas.
