Meet me on Study Buddy!
Study Buddy is a peer-to-peer online tutoring platform. The Tutors are high school honor students who volunteer their time to help others understand and succeed on math and science by helping with homework, labs, and studying for tests! Tutoring is free, and unlimited. Whether there’s a need for help every day or once a month before the big test.

How Does Study Buddy Work?
• Student Tutors and students needing help “meet” using an online, interactive whiteboard.
• Assignments can be uploaded, or written directly on the board.
• The sidebar is used to instant chat to solve the problem.
• Students and Tutors can both write, draw, and communicate on the board simultaneously.
• It’s all in real-time.
• All sessions are automatically saved, and can be reviewed later.
Tutors
All student tutors are honor students who are members of Mu Alpha Theta or recommended by their teachers. At a minimum, tutors are qualified in Basic and Middle School Math, as well as Algebra I. Some tutors are qualified up to AP Physics and Calculus B/C.
Tutors register with their school name, teacher sponsor, as well as the list of courses they are qualified to tutor. Once confirmed by Study Buddy, all tutors fill out their Schedule of Availability so they can be selected to tutor by their schedule. In addition, tutors may wait online to be pulled into an Immediate tutoring session!
When selected to tutor, tutors will be sent an email and a text notification, and given the option to Accept or Deny the session. An email/text is sent to the student when confirmed, and they meet at the scheduled time. All tutoring sessions are accessed through the Dashboard on Study Buddy’s website.
