Library Manager Susan Broman said she has received a good response from those she has told about the program since it became available at the beginning of January. ``So far it's been really positive. The students seem really interested - and their parents are even more interested,'' Broman said. Children and young adults visiting the library simply log on to tutor.com, enter their grade level and the subject they need help in, and they are instantly connected to an expert tutor. Students can receive help in math, science, social studies and English. ``It's similar to being in a chat room. The student and the tutor message back and forth,'' Broman said. ``At the end, the student can print out a copy of the entire tutoring session.''
