At Ace Tutors, we understand that as parents, you might be wondering about the differences between traditional home tuition and online tuition, and if online tuition would work?
The short answer is “Yes, absolutely”.
With technological advancements that allow faster, cheaper and accessible internet connection, online tutoring is becoming the new norm as schools are also transiting from the traditional lessons to online lessons and assignments. Easily facilitated through plenty of free online conferencing tools like Zoom and Google Meet students can easily attend online tuition lessons at their convenience and space. If you are worried about the technical aspects of setting up Zoom or Google Meet for the lesson, fret not, as our coordinators will be here to personally guide you through the set-up before your first lesson. Our very own step-by-step guide will also be made available to you.
Across the globe, students and working adults are also increasingly starting to learn online via platforms like Udemy, Coursera, Google learning and the likes. Online learning has proven to work, but like all other forms, it will take both the tutor and tutee to work hand in hand to make learning possible.
Here's a tip from us: Preparing the questions and materials in advance for both the tutor and tutee is one of the many ways to ensure effective learning.
Online tuition has proven itself that it has many benefits, but of course, you know your child best. If you feel that your child will still more likely benefit better from traditional home tuition, we're here to help you find the right match tailored to your needs!
There's only one thing to do: switching on your computer.
It's not only convenient for your child but with online tuition, you need not drive your child to a specific location. Everyone wins.
Students often learn better when they are not in a classroom setting as there are less likely for distractions from other students. Learning at the comfort of your own home may also help your child feel more relaxed and receptive to learning.
Staying in means there will be lesser social contact with strangers and also eliminates any physical risks.
Time is money. Without the need to travel, you get to save on transport costs and both you and your child can also use the extra time to rest or do more work.
With the recording features on free meeting software, students can record lessons and revisit the recording any time at their convenience for revisions. Such recordings are also helpful if you would like to know your child's progress in each lesson.
Online tuition is slightly cheaper since the tutor also works from the comfort of their home.
Zoom, and Google Meet are free web conferencing platforms that can be used to host online tuition classes.
Zoom is generally preferred as it works with all major browsers and devices, and also comes with a virtual whiteboard that may be used to facilitate the lessons. This allows the online tuition experience to feel the same or even better than traditional home tuition. An extra feature that we really love about using Zoom is no doubt the recording feature. This means you can record the tuition lesson and have your own library of lessons that your child can revisit anytime. This is particularly helpful if your child is unclear on anything and especially helpful for exam revisions.
For those who prefer to have digital reminders about their upcoming lessons, Google Meet can be an alternative as it allows the lesson to be added to your Google Calendar as an event. Google Meet runs on the following browsers: Chrome, Safari, Firefox and Edge.
Here's our very own step-by-step guide on how you can set up Zoom and Google Meet for your first lesson. Of course, our friendly coordinators will be here to personally guide you through if you need help with the set-up.
In the world of the 21st century, technology is constantly evolving and schools are also starting to adopt online tools for lesson curriculum. Online tuition has its advantages and is almost the same or even better than traditional home tuition as it is convenient yet efficient.
Continuous learning is important and should carry on regardless. In situations where it may not be as convenient and appropriate to have traditional face-to-face tuition, online tuition is a great alternative. We highly recommend you to try it, for the growth and success of your child.
