Free Internet Academics are ready and waiting for the middle and high school child who needs a little extra instruction and practice. These sites can take the place of a tutor and it’s a great convenience.
Many people have lost jobs and others hours have been cut to the bone. In this economy, in some families there is little or no money for tutors, but academic help is available. Your child can boost his skills with a little help on the computer. All these sites are free and were approved by the Good Housekeeping Institute.

SOSMath.com
For grades 9 and up, teaches by example. Lots of problems and solutions for trigonometry, calculus and more. It has practice quizzes and children learn by trail and error. Provides only a brief overview and child might need more explanation. Still a good program.
-

Is a tutorial in high school math. Strengthens calculus, algebra, and probability among other subjects. Pages are a little crowded and cluttered but still workable.
-
Owl.English.Purdue.edu
Offers online lab for 200 free lessons and guides for grade seven and up. Not all lessons go into depth and there is no dictionary or thesaurus, but still helpful for students.

This site has 10 high school subjects and has review questions posted throughout. It also has interactive aids for 100 text books. It lacks English grammar and Foreign language. Still very helpful.
-

Well organized and has multimedia examples that explain the concepts of physics. Sample problems are clearly explained. Doesn’t have a search engine but there are plans to add a search function soon.
-
Grammar.ccc.comment.edu
Concentrates on the writing process and less on the creative. Explains parts of speech, sentence structure, and paragraphs. They have 170 plus quizzes so it’s a good learning experience. In some cases the students wrong answers aren’t noted so watch for that.
-
Cliffnotes.com
This site has 200 free literature guides, and has information for grade seven and up including basic Spanish and French. The cheat sheets are great for pre-test reviews. it might not be through enough to teach the student a clear concept but still helpful.
