How to Find an Online Tutor
Once you have decided that online tutoring is for you, there are many ways you can go about finding the tutor that will fit your needs. With so many online tutoring providers on the internet, it is best not to go with the first one you find. As with other types of services: some are good, and some are bad. Just looking at a website may not be enough to know if the services are right for you or your child that’s having difficulty.
The web is going to be your primary source of information about the online tutoring service you choose. Here are some pieces of information about the online tutoring company you should look for:
- Their method of tutoring
- Homework help with instant, real-time answers
- Personalised lessons
- Chat or email responses
- How many pupils are in tutoring sessions (some are one-to-one, some have more than two pupils)
- The qualifications of their tutors
- Level of education (do they have a degree in science?)
- Certifications earned (do they have a teaching certificate?)
- The number of years of experience (how many years have they been tutoring? New tutors aren’t necessarily bad, after all, we all have to start somewhere right?)
- The length of time the online tutoring company has been in business
- Look for online reviews for the company online
- Consider that a company that has been in business for some time must have satisfied customers or they wouldn’t still be in business
- The price of the tutoring service
- Look for deals or packages on numerous subject areas
- Find something that fits your budget
Some tutoring services may be locally owned and operated, so you can find them in the Yellow Pages. Scrutinise them in the same way as those you find online! Just because they are local doesn’t mean they are qualified educators.
Once you have found that perfect online tutoring provider, anything is possible! This service can open doors and provide you or your child with numerous resources to achieve the expected educational goals.
