Is online tutoring effective?

As the world becomes increasingly connected, online tuition is becoming increasingly popular. Online tutoring works on the same basis as face-to face, except the tutor is not present in the room. It is worth remembering that online is just another channel of getting tutoring help for your child. Expert teaching and guidance, personalised tutoring tailored to your child’s specific educational needs and goals produce results no matter the format used to deliver it. All good online tutors should come with the same guarantees and provide the same learning experience as face-to face tuition. Choosing the right online tuition delivering both engaging and effective tuition will make the difference to the child’s academic performance and confidence.

What are the benefits of online tutoring?

Online tutoring literally opens up the whole world and students have access to a wider network of the best tutors to choose from. This increases your ability to find exactly the right tutor for your child’s needs. With no travelling involved, there will be an added flexibility with lesson scheduling. The tuition can be scheduled at a time that is convenient for your child. Online tutoring also provides students with access to a wider range of resources during the session including notes created during the sessions, worksheets and homework. This allows student to be fully engaged during the session.

Is it possible to be fully engaged online for long durations?

Our tutors specialise in online teaching and use a combination of learning tools to create an interactive learning environment. The tutors provide equal attention to familiarising with the content as well as working through exam questions. Providing practical, lively examples as well as asking challenging questions instills curiosity in students to go beyond the required curriculum, thus keeping the child fully engaged in the sessions no matter how long the sessions are.

How is the day structured?

The course is held daily for a 3-hour period over 3 weeks. There is a 30-mins break in between two halves of 90 mins.

The session begins with a mock examination which is designed to ensure that students are alert and ready to start the day. In the second half of the day, students will work through topics that they’re struggling with in small groups and are also given personalized tuition to help fill in knowledge gaps and tackle areas that they’re struggling with.

The course structure enables students to learn through a combination of personalised tuition, independent learning, peer support and group study.

Where courses are held online, we still endeavour to ensure that the students gets the same experience as face to face.
