Free, Low-cost Tutoring For Kids Available Throughout Broward

The first week of class can be overwhelming as students and parents make the adjustment from the lazy days of summer to a long day of classes.

Pretty soon, the homework blues will set in and parents will be scratching their heads, wondering what to do and how to help.

Getting private tutoring can be expensive but there are many ways you can find free or low-cost help for your child.

Summit Learning Center offers private tutoring but also helps students as part of the federal government's No Child Left Behind Act.

''It's a much-needed service,'' said Ed Cwieka, vice president of Summit, which offers individual and group tutoring.

Broward Schools' Supplementary Education Services program offers tutoring at 96 schools eligible under the No Child Left Behind Act.

About 50,000 students in Broward are eligible, but the educational program has only enough funds to tutor 6,255 students, said Sharonda Webb, Title Program Specialist for Broward County. ''It's a great opportunity for free tutoring. The parents are very anxious and we have been getting a lot of calls.'' There's tutoring for reading, writing, math, science and the FCAT.
