I signed up for HomeworkHub but no one has
been in touch?
Please check your spam inbox! Our emails sometimes wind up in there. If you still haven’t heard from us, that may be because we don’t have anyone available for you at the moment. If you are in urgent need for a tutor, please send us an email and we will do our best to pair you ASAP.

I’m an adult looking to volunteer, can I register?
Thank you for your interest in volunteering! If you are in University, then you absolutely can so long as you provide a valid vulnerable sector police check. If you are an adult out of school, a check must still be provided and you will most likely be paired with an adult student.

Absolutely! Current/past tutors with HomeworkHub can get references/letters of recommendations by emailing our references director. Information regarding your time at HomeworkHub will need to be provided in your email.
