Paper tutoring information and logo

The Bethlehem Central School District is excited to announce a new free tutoring service for BC high school and middle school students, provided by Paper. 

Paper is a secure, online tutoring service that provides students with unlimited, 24/7 academic support. Whether they’re stuck on homework, studying for a test, or need someone to read and make suggestions to their essays, there will always be experts available online to assist students in over 200 subjects. 

Paper tutors have been specially trained to conduct expert, academic support in a secure, chat-based platform. With a commitment to helping students learn, the tutors don’t provide students with answers, but rather interact with them in an encouraging tone to lead them forward. 

This is a free service that the school district is providing, so students are encouraged to use it as much as they need, whenever they need it. BCHS and BCMS teachers also have accounts and will be able to review all student activity to see what their students are working on and provide more targeted instruction as needed.

If you’d like to learn more about Paper you can sign up for a Paper hosted Parent Info Session, Or if you’d like to speak to a member of the Paper team directly, you can reach them at parents@paper.co.

To see Paper and the help it offers firsthand, parents are encouraged to log in with their students. To get started, a student can simply log into Clever using their Google credentials and click on the Paper icon. Alternatively, students can log in directly from the Paper homepage using their Google credentials. 

The district is excited to offer students the unlimited, 24/7 support that Paper provides.
