This is one of the fastest growing services in Australia. Online tutoring is a very effective way of receiving help – and not even moving from the house! Imagine being able to receive tutoring from your computer… this is a reality that Academy Plus will provide by 2011.
What is possible with online tutoring?;
Anything! This is just as flexible as having a 1:1 tutoring session at home. Many students prefer this service as they can receive tutoring from the best tutors! No matter where they live.
1) Interactive communication between tutor and student;
The live interface provides a very interactive tutoring session. The student will be able to ask questions and receive live responses. The tutor will be seen on camera and the lessons can be recorded and saved (for later revision). This is what is so appealing about online tutoring.
2) Receive tutoring from professional tutors, that cannot travel to your home.
Sometimes there is a very experienced tutor – with a great track record. However it may not always be possible that they travel to your home due to distance/availability. You may arrange session at a time that they are available and thus still receive tutoring. Or maybe you live in the country and cannot travel to a tutor’s home – in these cases online tutoring is a real benefit.It also includes access to excellent tutors not only from victoria but worldwide professionals!
3) Whiteboard/writing pad;
The tutor can draw an illustration/diagram on the interactive whiteboard located on the online interphase. This is like having your own personal classroom!
4) Less awkward to ask questions or ask the tutor to slow down etc;
Some students dislike admitting that they do not understand what the tutor is explaining – now with a simple click of a button, the student can signal that they do not understand a topic. Moreover the student will be able to signal for the tutor to slow down/speed up without feeling uncomfortable!
5) Able to easily send files to the tutor.
This interphase allows students to send files to the tutor, or vice versa. Thus it means that the tutor can view the student’s work and assignments almost immediately!
