Paper Tutoring is Back

Students can access unlimited tutoring 24/7.

Albuquerque Public Schools students in third through twelfth grade once again have access to unlimited 24-hour-a-day, seven-day-a-week tutoring through Paper.

The virtual sessions encompass everything from writing assignment reviews to college and career support for students. Personalized one-on-one tutoring is also available, but parents need to opt into that service. Paper services, which are chat and voice-based, are free for all APS students.

Paper has been providing tutoring to APS students since last school year.

Live tutoring

The company has subject-matter experts in over 200 subjects to provide 1:1 live-chat tutoring sessions, but parents will need to opt into this service. Tutors work individually with students to help them master concepts, improve their writing, and facilitate the completion of their coursework through Paper Education’s secure chat-based platform.

Live tutoring in any subject is available 24/7 in English, Spanish, French, and Mandarin, and tutors supporting those languages are fluent speakers. There are no translation services used.

The parental permission process for students to access the 24/7 live tutor service at Paper is designed to ensure a seamless and secure experience for both students and their parents or guardians. (More information on that process can be found below.)

Once a parent or guardian has opted into the 24/7 tutoring, students will be able to login through Classlink. Go to my.aps.edu and click the Paper icon.

Other services

But not all Paper services require parental opt in.

Those services include:

• Engaging educational videos and math games to expand student learning in and out of the classroom
• Reading fluency and comprehension practice
• Expert review on any written work (essays, creative writing, poetry, lab reports, etc.)

Students can submit written files to the Review Center for help with essays, thesis statements, lab reports, resumes, and more.

Paper partners with hundreds of school districts nationwide. Students are able to access the platform via any device and receive multilingual tutoring and instruction across subjects in English, Spanish, and other languages.

To date, APS students have completed more than 218,500 learning activities through Paper. Paper’s tutors have provided over 11,000 hours of help, and nearly 2,250 hours have been dedicated to reviewing students' written work. This not only saves teachers’ time but also significantly reduces the financial burden on families given that the average cost of private tutoring is $50 an hour.
