As the COVID-19 pandemic has shifted our entire Academics ETC. team to work online, it has been pleasantly surprising for our clients and our tutors to discover that online tutoring can be just as effective as our in-person tutoring. In addition, there are many benefits of working remotely and leveraging the technology available that have made this transition smooth and fun.

Let’s take a closer look

Whether you are an elementary, middle, high school, or college student, we can help with assignments and projects, clearing up any confusion about class topics, improving grades, and much more at the click of a button. With more of our clients having busier schedules, we have noticed that online tutoring is becoming the preferred method for seeking one-on-one help.

There are so many advantages to online tutoring. Let’s look at some of them and how these can help your child improve their grades and learn the subjects they need to succeed.

Benefits of online tutoring versus in-person

1. It is more convenient with your schedule.

With online tutoring, scheduling has become much more manageable. Our tutors have more hours in their day without any loss in commuting to work. They can schedule appointments depending on the client’s need and availability. If you live a busy life as a student or parent, online tutoring will be a more convenient option for you and your family. Online tutoring will be there when you need it, and you can choose sessions to fit your schedule without any time spent traveling to meet your tutor. With these constraints above removed, all you will need to do is turn on your computer or laptop and meet your tutor over the internet. These can be done quickly in the comfort of your home and at a time that suits your schedule. Even if this is late at night or early in the morning, we have tutors that are accessible and can help your child achieve better grades. It is that simple!

• You have a better choice of tutors online.

With the ability to go completely virtual, online tutoring has allowed us to expand our network of tutors. We now have tutors with proven expertise in various subject areas, including math, reading, science, history, foreign language, AP/ACT/SAT prep and even college counseling. There are no constraints caused by where you live, and you can choose a tutor that specializes in what you need, and we can find the right match for you. It is easier than ever to connect with your personalized tutor through the internet, enjoy help with any homework assignment or course content, and improve your child’s grades. We ensure the best fit for your child, and it is easier than ever to schedule a session with one of our tutors!

• We provide structure and organization at home.

Whether it is making sure classes, homework, and exams are prepped for and completed; we provide academic coaching and 1-on-1 homework assistance online. With the screen-sharing technologies and collaboration tools available, we can work with your child by reviewing their online student portal and create an organized plan to meet deadlines. We help them stay organized, keep their important study materials, assignments, or other documents in one place (e.g., using cloud storage, etc.), and ensure success in their coursework and improved grades.

• It’s fun and engaging for the student.

As the technologies available continue to foster improved collaboration and interaction, we use screen sharing on both sides and shared mouse control for interactive and engaging activities and learning games. We also utilize shared interactive whiteboards for solving problems together and visualization lessons, as well as other multi-sensory tools to keep your child focused, interested, and engaged in the learning process.

• You can have peace of mind.

Your child can review and repeat the sessions as many times as possible by recording sessions and rewatching them depending on the lesson. Rewatching and relistening to these materials can be especially helpful if the instruction is for a complicated math problem or topic – it helps students review and remember what was previously discussed. We know how important it is to make sure your children are in good hands with our top tutors, and the state of their academics is solid. Each child receives personalized academic instruction to maintain their progress and make sure they continue to meet their educational goals.
