New Perspective of Education: Online Tutoring

When we think of education, we think of studies. And when we think of studies first picture that comes to our minds is that of an exhausted student,sitting behind a pile of books, trying hard to solve maths problems. But now the scene is changing. It is time to change our perspectives!

“Online studies are much more interesting. It is amazing to actually discuss things on voice chat and practice on screen simultaneously!” says Stephencheerfully. Yes! It’s the world of e- education. Online tutoring has given a new look and feel to studies. Unlike the one-way teaching module intraditional school set up, online tutoring is a two-way learning process. It is a platform wherein a student can interact with a teacher online and learn bydiscussion. Student is free to ask anything to the teacher, be it from the prescribed syllabus or beyond it. With the help of voice enabled chat and whiteboard the discussion and practice session becomes all the more productive.

In America, online tutoring has emerged as a saviour for the quality-education starved student community. There are a wide range of services beingoffered by tutoring companies. Ranging from K-12 to college and pre-college studies, preparations for standardised tests like GMAT, GRE, SAT,career counselling, developing education modules and many more … you just ask for it and they have it ready for you. Companies likeTransWebTutors (transwebtutors.com), Tutor Vista, and Smart Thinking are now known for the quality of services provided. “It’s only with the help ofmy online teachers that I have been able to convert my ‘C’ grade into an ‘A’ grade. They make me so comfortable with studies that I do not hesitate toask about any queries” says Arthur, a delighted student of tenth grade. The customer base of online tutoring companies is getting full of such delightedstudents day by day.

Due to the recent regulations of American government, the education standards have been increased. No Child Left Behind Act has made theAmerican schools more serious about their quality and performance standards. As a result, online tutoring is now being encouraged in schools itself;especially to help the poor performing students improve their act. It is really a boon for the American education sector.

Online tutoring is proving to be a strong source of help for students. It has empowered them with the flexibility of time, and freedom to study anythingat anytime. One night before the exam if any student needs help, he cannot contact his home tutor or school teacher, but he can definitely contact anonline tutor. Even on regular days, students have the liberty to schedule their studies as per their requirements. Early in the morning or immediatelyafter school, after watching a football game or after coming back from a birthday treat… whenever they plan to study, their teachers are available just aclick away! Moreover, due to outsourcing options available to the American tutoring companies, the prices charged by them have been slashing day byday. The cost of an online study session may be as low as $18 an hour. Now this is like icing on the cake. “My son was advised to take personaltutoring sessions to improve his school grades. He loves to study online and I am happy I can provide him the services at home because it is muchmore affordable for me now” says Mr. Martin, a thankful parent of fifth grader.

Online tutoring is really changing the face of American education. It is adding a new dimension. It is giving us the new perspective of education!
