Author: Education should challenge the creativity of a child, and not make it stagnant. The reason why I stated this ‘obvious fact’ is that most educational institutions have literally put creativity on the backseat. Research and statistics shout out loud the ill-effects of standardized tests in middle-schools- NCLB et al.
K-12 students face a lot of problem in completing their homework. Children are receptive; whatever gets inside their minds, stay there for long. Hence, it is important to shape their learning skills (from the beginning) in a way that can make them creative, and productive.
Children in high school feel pressurized as they have to demonstrate their academic skills along with their SAT scores to get admission in colleges and universities. Availability of hundreds of test prep books makes it difficult for a student to decide which the right one is.
As parent, you would face the problem of choosing the right tutoring model for your child- coaching institutes in your city, a private tutor, or an online tutoring company. You might consider four factors while choosing any of the three tutoring model- teaching methodology, customization, convenience, and cost. There is no substitute for good teaching. But as far as other factors are concerned, you have a number of choices to make. All the three tutoring models described above provide quality tutoring. What about convenience, customization and cost?
Would a coaching institute for SAT develop a whole new syllabus for your child? Would a private tutor always come to your home when you want? Are you ready to drive your child to the learning center through heavy traffic, wasting precious time, that otherwise could have been invested in solving a SAT practice test?
If you know the answer to these questions, then its time you realize that online tutoring is a more convenient, time-saving, affordable and most importantly, productive tutoring model. In the following paragraphs we would be talking about the benefits of web-based tutoring services for your child.
Studies have shown that children learn more in the presence of their parents. This is because in this case, children cannot waste time in other activities. When you send your child to a private tutor, you can never keep track of the session. Moreover, a tutor would not provide you with a recording of the session. As a result, you would fail to monitor your child’s progress, Isn’t it?
An online tutor would not teach the exact same concept in the exact same way to different students. In fact, one of the greatest advantages of online tutoring lies in the fact that it DOES NOT follow the ‘one-size-fits-all’ concept, as in the case of most K-12 schools. With an online tutor, your child can learn while sitting at home.
