Juniors, the Class of 2025 Grade Level Support Team wants to call your attention to a free service that is available to students. We know that balancing your schoolwork load and other responsibilities can be challenging, especially as your high school courses become more difficult.

AskRose.org is a free tutoring service available through Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology. If you aren’t familiar with Rose-Hulman, it is a well-respected science and engineering college in Terre Haute, IN. Their students volunteer their time to tutor grades 6-12 students in math and science, via phone, email, and chat. Privacy is emphasized, and the tutors will not know your last name or contact information. They will also not just give you the answers…they will help you understand the material and guide you to the correct answer.

You can find more information online through AskRose.org, or by calling 877-ASK-ROSE (877-275-7673)

The available tutor hours are 3-5 PM Monday-Thursday, and 7-10 PM Sunday-Thursday.
