FAQ

Students can post their questions to get tutorials and help from tutors and other students, along with a due-date before which help will be required, and a price which they are willing to pay for the help.

The posted question is made available to all the tutors and other students on the website for them to submit tutorials in response to the question.

Similarly, if someone is an expert on particular subject, they can write tutorials for questions posted by students on this website. Experts can also post questions on their favourite subjects and then post tutorials for the same.

Absolutely!

The tutors / experts have to spend a lot of their time and efforts in writing up good quality tutorials so that the students can really understand the concept.

In turn they do charge for a nominal fee for helping the students in a responsible manner.

A student can post their academic question on Homeworkhours.com through the Ask a Question link available on top of every page.

While posting a question, they need to specify:

- a Title (brief introduction on the what the question is about)

- detailed Question (the actual question that requires help, along with any file attachments)

- the Price that they are willing to pay for a good tutorial

- the Due date, before which the tutorial is required

- the Subject / Topic to which the question relates

As soon as the student posts a question, it becomes available to everybody on the site-students, tutors everyone. The tutors can then post their answers with a price. The students will get a preview of the answers posted by the tutors. The preview will include a part of the answer posted by the tutor. In order to access the full answer, the student will have to pay the price demanded by the tutor.

When a student posts a question, they can set a price they are "Willing to Pay" for a tutorial. This generally depends on the expected complexity of the question, along with the urgency and effort required to write the tutorial. This is only indicative to let the tutors/experts know that the student is willing to pay this much.

However, the Tutor can have a different perspective over the complexity of the tutorial and the efforts required to write the tutorial can also vary.

They can therefore ask for a higher / lower price that what is being "Offered" by the student.

It is also possible that multiple tutors post their tutorial in response to a single question or topic, and all of them can have a different "Asked Price".

It is up to the student to finally decide whether they want to buy the tutorial at the price set by the tutor / expert or they may request the tutor to adjust the price by sending the message.

Definitely! Anyone can browse through existing questions on the topic of their choice.

If they find a question relevant to them, they can also preview the existing tutorials submitted against it.

If they like the preview, they can make the payment and purchase the tutorial to get immediate access to the complete tutorial.

This also holds true even if the original question poster has not purchased the given tutorial!
