I cannot stress enough how much Smarthinking has helped me gain further understanding on the concepts and assessments. You can request to have a drop-in tutoring session on a range of different subjects and get connected to a tutor quickly. Most of the time I've gone on there, I've been able to have a session within 10 minutes. And it's free! I would recommend this to any students who are still a bit confused with something regarding their assessments. Smarthinking aren't there to solve your problems, but they will work with you and help you as much as they can to try and get you on the right track.
Smarthinking tutors can provide 24/7 support across a range of subjects.
