Regular tutoring sessions are for families and K-6 learners who want set appointments with a tutor. This type of tutoring session requires fixed or previously arranged sessions with a tutor.
Homework Helpers in this program are from the Texas A&M University (TAMU) Reads & Counts (R&C) program. These students are eager to begin serving K-6th grade students virtually via the Aggie Homework Helpline. Reads and Counts tutors receive financial aid in the form of work-study. These work-study funds pay 100% of the tutors’ wages, so tutors are available at no cost to families/ students. Although some R&C tutors are education majors, most are studying various majors at TAMU. Regardless of their area of study, they all have a shared passion for assisting students to be successful in school and advancing their reading and math skills.
Parents/ students can set up recurring tutoring sessions with a R&C Tutor between the hours of 8 a.m.-8 p.m. Monday – Friday, depending on their availability.

On-demand tutoring sessions are best for families and PreK-12 learners who want the freedom to receive support at a moment’s notice. This type of tutoring session does not require recurring appointments with a homework helper. Whenever a learner needs quick or one-time homework support, just reach out to an on-demand tutoring session.
Our Aggie Homework Helpers in our On-Demand program include education interns who support elementary, middle, and high school students in most subject areas. These College of Education and Human Development (CEHD) undergraduate students are studying to become teachers and other professionals who will work with children and families. Interns have a variety of emphasis areas or majors that they are studying, including special education, bilingual education, secondary math, secondary science, etc., and are volunteering their time with the Aggie Homework Helpline as a component of practicum requirements for one or more courses that they are currently taking at Texas A&M University (TAMU).
Parents/ students can set up on-demand tutoring sessions as needed for their child(ren) between the hours of 8 a.m.-8 p.m. Monday – Thursday and 8 a.m. – 5 p.m. Friday, depending on their availability.
