How does online tutoring work?

We use the same tutors we use for face to face tutoring – they are of the same high standard. For many students we combine online and face to face tutoring so we work with tutors who are able to provide tutoring in both ways.

We can also offer tutoring that just happens online – and we use a variety of technologies. So it could be Skype or Facetime to create the same face to face tutorial feeling. We also use Google+ Hangouts as well as constantly exploring new technologies for distance, online tutoring.

What are the benefits?

• It’s great for students who live in rural areas, don’t want to have a tutor in the home (this can be for many reasons such as no quiet area to study). This form of tutoring also means we can help students in any part of the country or the world.
• Online tutoring can be more flexible – tutors might not be able to travel to a students home early in the morning or late at night but might be able to offer online tutoring at those times. It can also be useful for students who struggle to concentrate for long face to face tutoring sessions as you can break online learning into shorter 15 or 30 minute sessions.
• It works well for a number of subjects but can be especially helpful for essay based topics where the tutor can look a piece of work and then chat through any issue during a web based tutorial.
