Sometimes it feels like there aren’t enough hours in the day. Between work, school, and extracurricular activities, you may think you don’t have the time for tutoring, or the only extra time you have is too late in the day to meet with a tutor.

We’re happy to offer you online tutoring through NetTutor! Covering a number of different topics, this online tutoring can help you pass your classes AND work around your busy schedule. Also, you’ll find a list of apps and online tools to help you with your coursework.

NetTutor is an online tutoring platform that connects students with the academic support they need from experienced and qualified tutors. Tutoring is facilitated with an online whiteboard and is easy-to use. You are able to type, draw, and use symbols specific to the subject on the online whiteboard. Your tutor will be able to correspond with you and help you when you get stuck.

At this time, NetTutor is available free to all UNO students. Students get 15 hours free per semester. 

Your tutors have a bachelor’s degree, and most have an advanced degree in their subject specialty. All tutors have teaching and tutoring experience and are trained in cutting edge teaching and tutoring methods. You will find that the tutors through NetTutor are empathetic, patient, and supportive, and that they connect with you in a meaningful way to ensure that you succeed.

You can access NetTutor through Canvas in any of your courses by clicking on the "Net Tutor" link in the left Course Navigation bar. Once you see that, you should be able to easily connect with a tutor. 

There are a wide variety of subjects available. Check the chart below to see if your course is currently offered.

Three options will be presented to you:  (1) Ask Net Tutor, which is live one-on-one help, (2) Q & A Center, where you can drop off a question and get a response from a tutor, and (3) My Tutorial Archive, where you can view previous sessions or answered questions.

If no tutors are currently available, you will be able to view the schedule to see when tutors will be online next by clicking “View Schedule.”

Live one-on-one tutoring and the Q & A Center uses an online whiteboard. In the whiteboard, you can type, draw, enter symbols, pictures, and more. There is a chat feature on the side where you and your tutor can talk. If you have a disability that requires text-to-speech software, the online whiteboard may not be compatible with your software. Contact M. Shannon Williamson and she can set your account to accessibility mode.
