Instructions for Working With a NightOWL/Star-NY Tutor:
- Open an updated version of a browser such as Chrome, Firefox, or Safari (do NOT use Internet Explorer) to log into the STAR-NY tutoring site.
- Click on the "Tutor Request" link to read and agree to the consent information and to follow the prompts to set up your account on the platform.
- Select the room for the subject with which you would like assistance. Students are helped one-on-one in the order that they log in to the tutoring platform. If a student is already working with the tutor(s), other students will remain in a virtual "waiting room." You will be taken into the tutor's room when the previous student's session is complete. Sessions are limited to 60 minutes.
