Education: Tutoring

The Defense Department now covers the costs of an online tutoring service available 24 hours a day, seven days a week, for all active-duty service members and their families. Adults and youths are matched with screened, certified, professional tutors.

Those eligible: all active-duty, National Guard and reserve personnel on active duty in a deployed status, Defense Department civilians in a deployed status, and their dependent family members. Tutoring is available for kindergarten through grade 12 and beyond. Subjects include elementary math, algebra, geometry, trigonometry, calculus, statistics, earth science, biology, chemistry, physics, vocabulary, grammar, writing, literature and social studies.

Resume and job search assistance is available, as well as resources for citizenship and GED test preparation, and even family budgeting.
