Finding a tutor can be challenging. With independent tutors, word of mouth is crucial. However, opting for an online tutoring company provides the advantage of online reviews, a comprehensive website showcasing available tutors, and a diverse pool of high-quality options. Parents should prioritize a tutor’s years of experience, state certification, expertise, education, and personality. Ultimately, customer reviews offer valuable insights into a tutor’s effectiveness.
Being actively involved in your child’s education is the best way to determine if your child needs a tutor. Staying in touch with their teachers, understanding their grades versus their peers, and knowing how satisfied they are with what they are doing in school are great ways to gauge if your child needs a little extra help. Additionally, it may not even be a case of your child being behind, but noticing if they are dissatisfied with their academic performance and want to get ahead. These are several signs you may want to find a tutor.
Online learning can be an adjustment. Online tutoring sessions involve logging into a virtual classroom where the student and tutor will interact via video chat. Much like an in-person tutoring session, online tutoring companies offer a dedicated space where the student and tutor will discuss concepts, practice problems, and use tools like a whiteboard to go over examples.
It can be easier to trust an established tutoring company because they have more resources available, and the ability to provide guarantees and resolve customer service issues in favor of the customer. Additionally, tutoring companies are able to better vet their tutors.
It’s natural to wonder if online tutoring can foster the necessary one-to-one connection for a successful learning relationship. It’s an essential question we have asked, too. The research demonstrates that online tutoring is effective in helping students learn new material, improve test scores, and grow more confident academically. Harvard research and the Fordham Institute concluded that online tutoring can substantially benefit a child’s academic performance, socioeconomic skills, and general sense of well-being.
