• Is Your Kid Average? Better Get a Tutor!

  Has the world – or at least the upper-middle-class parent portion of it – gone completely mad? We're doing tutors for preschoolers now?

• Need a Tutor? Tutorlinker!

  This cool new site is just the thing if your kid needs a little extra help with his math and you've forgotten all about fractions (who uses those things in real life?  seriously, have you divided 5/6 by 3/4 anytime lately? Or since 4th grade?). Tutorlinker is a free site founded by two college students and it uses Google Map's geocode technology to easily and instantly hook you up with available tutors right in your area (warning:  the pickings are mighty slim in many states in the "middle" of the country, but keep in mind that this site is only about 3 monts old and is still growing).  And they couldn't have made this simpler:  there's no registration and the service is free.  You simply view and then connect with available tutors.  Instant good grades!
