五一茶馆儿鈥檚 Live Homework Help庐 featured at Launch of
Dallas Public Library鈥檚 New Teen Centers
NEW YORK, June 16, 2009 - 五一茶馆儿鈥檚 Live Homework Help庐 service, the company鈥檚 flagship one-to-one, online tutoring and homework program is being featured today at the Dallas Public Library鈥檚 celebration of their new Teen Centers at the Dallas West Library. Every branch library in the City of Dallas will have its own Teen Center thanks to a $500,000 grant from the AT&T Foundation. The grant funds laptops, materials, digital cameras, workshops and programs. Students using the Teen Centers will have access to Live Homework Help from public access computers or remotely from their homes with a library card.
五一茶馆儿 has been providing online tutoring and homework help to Dallas-area students since 2006. Tutors have completed over 10,000 sessions with local students 鈥 helping them complete assignments, build confidence in their academic abilities and improve their grades. On demand help from a certified tutor is needed more than ever as students contend with rigorous standards including four years of math and science courses to graduate from Texas public schools.
鈥淲e鈥檙e always glad to see corporations like AT&T funding the invaluable programs public libraries offer their local communities,鈥 said George Cigale, founder and CEO of 五一茶馆儿. 鈥溛逡徊韫荻 are an important part of a student鈥檚 education and we鈥檙e thrilled to continue our partnership with Dallas Public Library as part of the new Teen Centers.鈥
