NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — Tennessee's tutoring hotline is prepped to help virtual learners this year.
"The change that we anticipate will be the types of calls we receive," said Madeline Adams, the executive director of Homework Hotline.
Homework Hotline is a free one-on-one tutoring service for students in grades K-12. Any student in the state can call or text the hotline to connect with a teacher and get help completing an assignment.
"We do expect to be busy this year and we expect to have more students call us because we know teachers are going to have a difficult time working with each student one-on-one like they normally would like to in their schools," Adams said.
During the 2019-2020 school-year, 4,492 students as well as 1,667 parents/guardians called Homework Hotline.
Tutors are certified teachers. They expect more in-depth calls this year.
"We have a feeling we'll be starting a little bit more from scratch rather than a homework check," Adams said.
Homework Hotline is staffed Monday through Thursday. Teachers can be reached at 615-298-6636 or 901-416-1234.
