How Online Tutoring Works

COVID-19 has changed the way of life for everyone. Schools have moved to a digital learning environment to benefit public health and safety, in turn creating the worry of students falling behind with new restrictions in place.
​
Teachers and parents alike want students to continue learning at the same pace as in-person classes. To do so, it’s a great idea to hire a tutor to help your child in a specific subject or for overall learning.


Before the pandemic, students had in-class help from teachers and staff. Unfortunately, moving to an online format, that interaction is limited, as is the time that teachers have to dedicate to items other than the lecture. 

Tutoring services have adapted to the digital learning space, offering packages to fit any budget and provide learning opportunities that ensure our children stay up to speed and are able to feel confident in their learning. 

4 Common Questions About Online Tutoring

1. How is a Tutoring Program Created?

When you first contact a tutoring service, there are so many questions. For starters, you want to make sure your child's needs are met and that the tutor is the right fit.

After you determine the tutoring service you want to use, an enrollment coordinator calls to answer questions, help you choose an appropriate program, and create a schedule that fits your busy days. Next, the student takes online assessments to provide information to the tutor that helps in creating a lesson plan to meet their needs. 
​

Tutors have access to the same textbooks and information your child uses in school. With this benefit, you have the peace of mind that they are learning at the pace their teacher expects and that the tutor is able to take the time to frame the lessons in ways that may be more beneficial to the student.

2. How do Tutors Communicate with Parents?

The tutor or service contacts you regularly through conferencing, updating you on progress. This way, you can let the teacher know of any struggles and support your child throughout the learning process. 

You are also provided with a parent portal for important messages and information regarding your child's progress and updates to their tutoring package. ​

3. What is the Availability for Online Tutoring?

Because tutoring is online, geographical location is not an issue. Tutors can work with children all over the United States at a time that works for you and your family. As opposed to digital learning through school, a tutor is available anytime their schedule permits, allowing for a little more flexibility in scheduling.

4. What Types of Tutoring Are Available?

There are two categories of learning that a tutoring service uses. They are:

Asynchronous: A category of online tutoring planned for offline courses. Students receive an email with their lesson, complete the assignment, and submit it online. A benefit of Asynchronous online tutoring is that both the tutor and student do need not be online simultaneously for tutoring. This is perfect if a student prefers self-paced learning or if you don't have access to technology capable of playing videos or other real-time online communication.

Synchronous: This category is when the tutor and student are online together. There is a real-time exchange of information and learning during the tutoring session. Synchronous tutoring requires software for audio, video, and text. This is the most common online tutoring method but may also contain the email concept of Asynchronous tutoring. 

Benefits of Online Tutoring

Online tutoring provides many benefits. In addition to one-on-one instruction, your child(ren) learn to use technology in a beneficial way, and communication is increased.

1. Online Tutoring is a High-Tech Way to Learn

Today's generation of students has grown up with technology. It's familiar and a comfortable way to interact. In the same way, they use phones, tablets, and computers. Online tutoring provides a familiar and comfortable format for learning. ​

2. Help Is Convenient When Students Need It

Teachers have limited resources to help an entire class of students learning digitally. Additionally, they may struggle with using technology that is complex or difficult to use. 

Using an online tutoring service, students learn in their own home safely and free from distraction. Parents have the added peace of mind that they can closely monitor the tutoring, understanding where their child(ren) struggles, and providing support.

3. Students Receive Focused One-on-One Attention​

Students benefit from an individual tutor assigned to them, providing one-on-one learning that they cannot get from a teacher in the digital space. The tutor assesses the student's needs and strengths, tailoring a program to ensure they don't fall behind in any subject.
