Tutor.com
Tutor.com offers on-demand online tutoring and homework help, 24/7, in hundreds of subjects. Many students get it free through a library, school, college, employer or the military; families can also buy hourly packages through The Princeton Review.
What is Tutor.com?
Tutor.com is an online tutoring service known for on-demand homework help, any hour of the day. It operates alongside The Princeton Review, and in September 2025 the company announced both are now fully US-owned and operated.
Most people reach Tutor.com through an institution. Public libraries, school districts, colleges, employers and the US Department of Defense pay for access so their patrons, students, employees and military families can use it free. Families without that access can buy hourly plans through The Princeton Review.
How it works
- Log in. Students connect through a library card, school portal, military program or a personal account. A mobile app, Tutor.com To Go, is also available.
- Ask for help. Connect with the next available tutor on demand, or schedule a session for later.
- Work it through. Sessions use two-way text chat or voice in an online classroom with a whiteboard, text and code editors, graph paper and a graphing calculator.
- Drop off work. Students can submit essays and math work for written review.
Tutors use a Socratic approach, guiding students to solve problems themselves. Tutor.com notes that tutors may occasionally run two independent sessions at once.
What it covers
| Area | Examples |

Who it's best for
Tutor.com is ideal for middle schoolers, high schoolers and college students who hit a wall on homework, especially at night. If your library or military benefit includes it, it's a no-cost safety net worth bookmarking.
It's a weaker fit for young children or for kids who need a steady tutor and a plan. For a consistent tutor, try Varsity Tutors or Wyzant. For a low-cost AI helper between sessions, see Khanmigo. Browse all tutoring.
