White Hat Management Offers Students Live, On-Demand Tutoring From SMARTHINKING

Washington, DC and Akron, Ohio (February 07, 2006) - White Hat Management announced today that it has partnered with SMARTHINKING, the leading provider of online tutoring and academic support, to offer its students live tutoring anytime, from anywhere. Students in White Hat schools including DELA and Brilliant will receive tutoring up to 24 hours a day, 7 days a week in math, language arts, and science. White Hat will also provide writing support for all subjects through SMARTHINKING's online writing lab.

"Research shows that live tutoring helps students. Tutoring at the moment of need helps students more; and tutoring from highly qualified and trained tutors helps students the most," said Marcus May, General Manager of White Hat's Content Division.

"We are always looking for innovative, effective ways to support our students and their education, and online, on-demand solutions like SMARTHINKING's live tutoring are a perfect example of this." May added, "Education is not a one-size-fits-all proposition. Some students really open up in an anonymous, online environment. Students who might otherwise not ask for help use these resources extensively."

"We're pleased to partner with such a leader and innovator in online high school education as White Hat," said SMARTHINKING CEO Burck Smith. "We share White Hat's commitment to providing all the resources necessary to foster student success, and we're looking forward to getting started."

More than 80% of SMARTHINKING tutors possess advanced degrees in their discipline, and all tutors have substantial instruction and teaching experience. As part of SMARTHINKING's intensive hiring and training process, tutors participate in rigorous online training and evaluation. Over 175,000 students have had over 700,000 tutoring sessions with SMARTHINKING tutors.
