About Us
Nebraska SMART (Success Made Accessible through Rural Tutoring) is a free virtual tutoring program for K-12 students who attend NRCSA (Nebraska Rural Community Schools Association) member school districts, school districts in Educational Service Units 1, 4, and 13, and other select smaller rural public-school districts. Teacher education candidates from Chadron State, Peru State, and Wayne State Colleges remotely tutor students through an online tutoring platform.
Nebraska SMART was established by the Nebraska State College System in partnership with the Nebraska Department of Education which awarded an Innovation Grant to the State Colleges to develop a rural tutoring program. Chadron State College, Peru State College, and Wayne State College collaboratively offer this free online tutoring program to K-12 students in rural Nebraska.

Hours
Fall 2024 Semester
Tutoring is offered Monday through Thursday, 3:30-7:30 PM.
Fall tutoring will end on December 12; tutoring will resume in January 2025.
How it Works
Nebraska K-12 students who attend NRCSA member school districts, school districts in Educational Service Units 1, 4, and 13, and other select smaller rural public school districts have free access to online tutoring with a qualified Tutor in English, math, science, and social studies. Parents must first register their student(s). The Parent Guide provides instructions on creating an account, scheduling a session, joining on-demand, and more.
How to Schedule an Appointment
Parents must initially register their student(s) before they can receive tutoring services. Once registered, students can request pre-scheduled appointments with a Tutor or log in and request on-demand tutoring to be connected with the next Tutor available in the queue. Students should provide homework for which they wish to receive help or topics that they would like to cover.
