Free online help for Central Coast students as HSC looms

Central Coast Council is urging local students who need help with relentless homework tasks to take advantage of the Library Service online tool Studiosity.

While the service is available for students from Year 3 to tertiary education, Year 12 students will particularly benefit at this time of year as they study in the lead up to Higher School Certificate exams.

Council Section Manager Library Strategy and Connection, Benjamin Hartley said the features of the service can give students an edge while simultaneously alleviating the worry they often feel while studying alone.

“The way students engage with technology has changed dramatically and Studiosity is a natural extension of the classroom, which aims to promote equality in education,” Mr Hartley said.

“We are excited to announce the real-time online chat tool is now available 24 hours! Along with the writing feedback service, students are only a click away from accessing this valuable support anywhere, anytime.

“All Subject Specialists are extremely well-trained; the best thing is they will never give the students the answer but provide them with the skills and knowledge to help get there themselves.

“For tertiary and secondary students alike, knowing that they can get help or feedback from a professional, late at night or on weekends, is often a huge relief.

“For parents, there is comfort in knowing that their children can be supported and keep learning when they themselves aren’t available, or simply aren’t able to help with advanced topics.”

Mayor Lisa Matthews said the modern library was important for delivering the free services local families and students need to thrive. 

“Access to free tutoring helps level the playing field for all students and provides the support they need to prepare for end of year exams,” Mayor Matthews said.

“It can be a stressful time but with Studiosity there is support when you need it the most and I encourage local families to take advantage of this great service.”

Students can access this service simply by logging in with their library membership via centralcoast.nsw.gov.au/studiosity
