Tips for Tutor.com
There is a time limit on your tutoring session. If your time runs out, you can start over by logging out and back in, to request a new tutoring session. You'll be put back in the queue for the next available tutor.
If, for some reason, you aren't getting the help you need from the tutor you were assigned, log out and log back in. It's very likely that you'll be assigned another tutor, who may have a style or knowledge that better suits you.
