Homework Help is a live, group-support space where students can get timely assistance on assignments, ask clarifying questions, and build confidence working through problems. Sessions run twice daily on weekdays and are facilitated by trained Homework Help staff. While most questions can be addressed in-session, some topics may require a follow-up with a subject-matter expert—our team will arrange that for you when needed. All times are Eastern (ET) and services are unavailable on weekends and on listed holidays/office closures. 


Homework Help is hosted weekly Monday through Friday at the following times: 

  • 6:00 – 9:00 am EST 
  • 2:00 – 5:00 pm EST 

*Please note, Homework Help sessions are not available when the Edovate office is closed.  This includes weekends and holidays.

Joining Homework Help Session

Students join Homework Help by clicking on Homework Help in the BLC. The Zoom session is launched and the student will be in the waiting room. The Homework Help teacher will admit the student. 



After selecting Homework Help, you will see the page below with times listed. If Homework Help is available to you, click the link to join the Zoom session.


While in the waiting room: 

  • Have the homework ready for the session 
  • Gather any resources (like a calculator, paper/whiteboard, scoring rubrics, etc.) that they will need for the Homework Help session. 
  • Ensure their camera (if desired) and mic are working.

Be prepared to answer the following questions when they enter the Homework Help session: 

  • Their name, grade level, and subject  
  • How they would like the Homework Help staff to assist them  


During Session, the student should: 


  • Remain on mute unless talking with the Homework Help staff. 
  • Raise their hand (virtual/physical) if they need specific attention from the Homework Help staff. 
  • Once the Homework Help staff has addressed their needs, the student can: 
    • Leave the Homework Help session
    • Go to a breakout room – contacting the Homework Help staff if they need support/return to the main session
    • Remain in the main session – raising their hand if they need additional help.
  • Conduct themselves in a respectable manner through words and actions towards the Homework Help staff and other students in the room.  A student will be removed if: 
    • They are disrespectful or disruptive to the staff or others
    • The family engages in the session
    • The student has joined to socialize and continues after being asked to focus on work
