Nebraska SMART

Nebraska SMART is a free virtual tutoring program for students in grades K-12. Teacher education candidates from Chadron State, Peru State, and Wayne State Colleges remotely tutor students in Educational Service Units 1, 4, and 13 through an online tutoring platform. This program is made possible by a Nebraska Department of Education grant awarded to the Nebraska State College System to launch a rural tutoring program.

The Nebraska SMART Video can be viewed for more information: https://youtu.be/fSd1-uvSJHQ

Parents who wish to gain access to tutoring must register their child(ren) by visiting: http://www.nscs.edu/nebraskasmart

Parents must first create an account and register their child(ren). Once parents have created their account and added their child(ren), the student (or parent on their behalf) can schedule a tutoring appointment. Students can also join on-demand tutoring to be connected with the next available Tutor.

The Parent Guide(https://www.nscs.edu/_resources/e30d:s88r3a-2a3/files/77108154zc714d33b/_fn/Nebraska%20SMART%20Parent%20Guide.pdf) provides steps for parents to register their child(ren), schedule a session, request on-demand tutoring, and more.

Students should provide homework for which they wish to receive help or topics that they would like to cover. When connected to a Tutor, students (or parents on their behalf) can share files with their Tutor. It is recommended that students (or parents on their behalf) have saved their homework to their computer prior to connecting to a Tutor.

The Nebraska SMART tutoring platform can be accessed via a laptop, desktop, or Chromebook. Please note that smartphones and some tablets are not currently supported by this platform.  See below for Nebraska SMART’s technology requirements.

*The Nebraska SMART tutoring platform is not affiliated with Hay Springs Public Schools.
