The State Library is reminding Louisiana students to access live, vetted tutors through HomeworkLA.org. Homework Louisiana provides one-on-one tutoring from over 4,000 qualified teachers in nearly 200 subjects. State Librarian Meg Placke says the service is just as accessible as AI but more effective.
“This is an actual live tutor that will sit there and not just give the answer; they will help the student walk through it and learn how to do. it themselves,” Placke explained.
Tutoring sessions can be scheduled or available on demand seven days a week from 10 a.m. to midnight. Placke says students can learn in class during the day, and Homework Louisiana provides extra help at home.
“We usually see the highest usage actually from our summer and beginning college students, with math being probably the primary subject that people use for help,” Placke noted.
Placke says students do not need a library card to use Homework Louisiana, and Spanish and Vietnamese language options are also offered.
