How did Greenfield High School provide on-demand, 24/7 academic support in both English and Spanish?
Watch: Janet Matos, the Principal of Greenfield High School, discusses successfully serving the needs of students for whom English is a second, or even a third, language
CASE STUDY
To support college and career readiness, CA’s South Monterey JUHSD chooses 24/7 educational support
If it's 9:30 pm and your child has a question on math, you don't have to worry about it. We have Paper, and Spanish-speaking tutors are available as needed.

Academic support increases engagement and promotes college and career readiness
Every student now has access to homework help, writing feedback, and enrichment programming on demand, 24/7—in both English and Spanish
The dilemma
Many students in the district had after-school responsibilities, from childcare to paid work. As a result, traditional, site-specific after-school help couldn’t reach the students who needed it most.
The solution
Greenfield High School sought a solution that would support its diverse set of learners—including feedback on students’ writing. The ability to provide academic help in Spanish was key, as well as 24/7 online access.
The takeaway
Adoption rates of Paper have been particularly high, with well over two tutor interactions per student. In addition to students, teachers—especially those who assign essays—have benefited from the services of Paper’s Review Center.
