Despite your encouragement and supervision, do you feel overwhelmed by your children's homework? Have you considered homework help? Here's where you can find it.
In schools
The homework help service is not offered in all schools. You must inquire with the management of your establishment. In some schools, the service is provided by community organizations.

Hello teacher
The services of Allo prof are offered free of charge by volunteer teachers who want to support students who need a little tutoring. This is telephone help (Monday to Friday from 5 to 8 p.m.), but students can also register for cyberclasses, which allow them to interact with teachers in the context of a virtual class.
The Allo prof website includesmoreover, a virtual library, a research tool, educational games and video clips from teachers who dissect various topics seen in class.
Teaching students
Several university students who are doing their bachelor's degree in pedagogy or teaching offer tutoring services to earn some money during their studies. Their support costs a little less than the help offered by private organizations and for these students, it is a form of practical internship.
However, their services are not widely advertised: local newspaper, establishment bulletin board, word of mouth remain the best ways to find these rare pearls.
