How does Study Zone Online work? - View a demo of the Study Zone Online
 Study Zone Online uses the online classroom designed by Brainfuse, allowing for simultaneous live chat and whiteboard drawing functions.  As with the Study Zone tutors in the library, Study Zone Online take place in a group setting with 1-5 students for each tutor.  Students can work individually with a tutor or students can work together in a group and get help from a tutor as they need it.  Students can even use our online worksheets for skills building practice.

How do students join Study Zone?
There is no need to sign up in advance, just log in any time during Study Zone hour.  All you need is your library card.  Students can also drop in to work with live tutors at most KCLS libraries.   To find a live tutor at a library near you see the regular Study Zone program and the Study Zone Tutoring Schedule.

Who are Study Zone tutors?
Study Zone tutors are volunteers from our communities who must pass a Washington State patrol background check and complete a program orientation before they begin tutoring. Study Zone tutors can provide help in all subject areas up to the 8th grade level and also specialize in one or two subjects each up to the college-prep level.
