The site – http://www.tutor.com/military -- offers round-the-clock
professional tutors who can assist with homework, studying, test
preparation, resume writing and more.
Marine
Corps and Army families have had access to the program for more than a
year. Seeing the value, Defense Department officials decided to expand
the service to encompass all servicemembers and their families,
officials said.
“Providing 24/7 academic and career support
for military families during a time when so many parents have a
deployed spouse has been an important and well-received benefit for
Marine Corps and Army families,” said Tommy T. Thomas, deputy
undersecretary of defense for military community and family policy.
“We
are pleased to expand this program to all U.S. military families and
provide peace of mind that their children are never alone when it comes
to learning – there is always a certified, professional tutor available
to help,” he said.

"...Military students are eligible for this program
right now regardless of whether they are in public school, private school,
parochial school, or are home schooled. And, that if their school or district
serves a substantial population of military families, they may be eligible to
have a Tutor.com representative do a free in-person and/or online
demonstrations for interested students, parents, teachers, and administrators.
