It’s not realistic to expect that all kids can get their educational needs met at school. Teachers often have overcrowded classrooms, and it can be difficult for students to get the individual attention they may need. Tutoring is a great solution that many families choose to resolve this problem. However, it’s important to think outside the classroom because traditional settings aren’t always the best places to learn. Online tutoring can work just as well as, or even better than, traditional face-to-face sessions.

1. More Convenient

Most families are busy, and finding room in their schedules for more time commitments is often difficult. The traditional tutoring setup requires you to work around the tutor’s availability, and many tutors are college students with schedules of their own to consider. Online tutoring can take place at a time that’s most convenient for your schedule.

2. Personalized Learning Approaches

Online tutoring makes it easier to customize the teaching approach to the way your child learns best. Some tutors, particularly those associated with commercial learning centers, may have established methods of tutoring that don’t match every kid’s learning style. Online tutoring allows a lot of flexibility in trying different methods. In addition, some students are more uncomfortable in new social settings than others, especially when it comes to learning. Online tutoring is another way to reduce this problem and create an environment that makes it easier for kids to learn.

3. Qualified Teachers

Hiring a tutor, in and of itself, is no guarantee that you’re getting a subject matter expert. Some tutors are college students looking to earn extra money during school. Still others may not have a degree at all. Our tutors are carefully vetted, and most have at least a master’s degree. Some of our tutors even have doctorate degrees. All of our tutors have at least a bachelor’s degree, and all have gone through our extensive training program before they start working.

4. One-on-One Help

Online tutoring does not mean anonymous. The same qualified teacher is assigned to work with your child each time, allowing the tutor to get to know your child’s needs and determine the best way to help.

5. Cost-Effective

Working with an offline, face-to-face tutor can be cost-prohibitive. Many families want their kids to get the needed help but may worry about the cost of tutoring fees. Online tutoring is affordable, with an average cost of $80 to $120 a month.
