As reported in Inside Higher Ed, Sallie Mae, the student loan company, will offer free online tutoring to borrowers through a partnership with Chegg, an online textbook publisher that recently has moved into student support services, including test preparation and tutoring.

Borrowers will get 120 minutes of free access to tutors, Sallie Mae said. They can work with vetted university tutors in 175 subject areas via chat room or Skype, with a goal of helping students improve their grades and chances of graduating. Alternatively, Sallie Mae customers can get four months of free access to Chegg's online study guide service. Or they can do a combination of the two, meaning 60 minutes with tutors and two months with the study guide.
