Two Options for UNG Students
Students have access to free online tutoring from inside an eLearning@UNG (D2L) course.
Smarthinking
Smarthinking is an easy-to-use, free online tutoring service available to all UNG students – online and face-to-face.
Smarthinking provides tutoring in more than 150 subject areas, some of which are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
Students can “drop-in” for live tutoring, submit questions for a response within 24 hours, schedule an appointment, and view archives of past sessions. They can also create a group and invite a tutor for assistance.
