Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Homework Hotline a free service?
Yes. There is no charge associated with calling the hotline and receiving tutoring support.
What if there are no tutors available when I call in?
You may be placed on a brief hold if tutors are assisting other students. When the next tutor becomes available, they will take your call.
How long can I work with my tutor?
Time is not limited. However, based on the volume of calls, tutors may need to limit the number of materials they can address in a single call.
What if I forgot to ask my tutor a question during my session? Can I call in again?
Yes. Students can call the hotline more than once per evening, during hours of operation.
What if I don’t have my books or materials with me?
Tutors expect that students have the required materials for homework.
Can we utilize video during a call?
Tutors can assist with homework that is difficult to explain by utilizing Teams. Please always call the hotline first to connect with a tutor, and once connected, ask your tutor if it will be possible to switch to a Teams call.

No. The Homework Hotline will not be available during school breaks. Please see the academic calendar for school closure dates.
