In the wake of the COVID pandemic, there is more freedom of choice! Not only can you choose what and where to learn, you can decide how, giving more flexibility to meet personal needs and preferences.
Today, students are able to choose whether to learn in-person or online. This is true for private tutoring. So which form of learning is best? It all comes down to student needs and preferences as well as the quality of the tutoring provided.
IN-PERSON TUTORING
Pros:
1. Social interactions
Students can physically interact with their tutor to help build connections.
2. Resources
Resources that are provided by the tutor are physically accessible to support student learning.
Cons
Cost
1. In-person tutoring tends to be priced higher to cover building costs and resources.
ONLINE TUTORING
Pros:
1. Flexibility
Online tutoring offers greater flexibility in terms of when and where sessions take place. For example, sessions can be arranged at a time to suit both the student and the tutor and take place in any location.
2. Cost
Tutoring sessions online are typically lower in price since there are no travel or building costs to cover.
Cons:
1. Social interactions
Students will connect with their tutor virtually which can be less desirable if a physical experience is preferred.
Ultimately, the choice between in-person or online tutoring boils down to the method that best suits the student’s and family needs.
A major factor when choosing a private tutoring service is the quality of the instruction provided, whether it’s in-person or online. Did you know that tutors aren’t required to be qualified? In fact, there are very few tutors that have teaching experience, let alone that are qualified teachers! Also, many tutoring services follow a designed program with pre-built lessons, instead of creating and designing lessons for individual students!
