Asked by Tim

Are the teachers here getting paid to help the students?
Is this a paid program?
Answered by Ms. Sue
No. No tutor is paid here. We are all volunteers.

Oh that's nice of you guys! (:
So who is the founder of this site?
Are tutors here American?
Answered by Ms. Sue
The founder of Jiskha is a man named Leo. He started this several years ago when he was in junior high and wanted a place for him and his friends to share homework help. Today some students still post answers, but most of us are retired teachers and professors.

A couple of our regular tutors are Canadian and occasionally a Brit or other European posts answers. But most of us are American.

Answered by Ms. Sue
Yes, you're right. I live in Michigan.
