What is Pear Deck Tutor?

Pear Deck Tutor (formerly TutorMe) is an online tutoring platform that connects students to live tutors, 24 hours a day in over 300 subjects, right from their home. Their network of over 10,000 verified tutors has helped more than half a million students improve their grades, understand difficult concepts, or just get help with simple questions! Students can even have their papers reviewed using TutorMe’s Writing Lab, which provides detailed feedback on their essays or reports in less than 12 hours.

 

How do I access Pear Deck Tutor?

Students at NC will use the link inside their course in Canvas (please see screenshot below) to directly sign into Pear Deck Tutor (formerly TutorMe). 
 
Just click the Pear Deck Tutor (Online Tutoring) link in Canvas to be automatically logged in to your school account. You should not go directly to Peardeck.com, since this will not log you in and you will be unable to access tutoring.
