tutoring services online

I used to be a tutor online for tutor.com and for a-z tutoring service.
Both have different methds of tutoring. Tutor.com doe not want you to teach or coach a kid through problems, but rather let them find teh answer for themslevs. Where a-z goes teh otherway around. If a kid needs tutoring you find a way to let them uinderstand what they are having trouble with.

I prefer a-z method. I always found that tehreason akid needs help is because he /she doesnt get what is going on and is basically lost.

it helps for children to learn step by step an to memorize processes in sequence.

I've never tried such services. From your experience in it, did you feel as though you were able to get the job done efficiently or was it harder as you were not actually there with the child?

As for the price, from a student perspective, usually it's affordable..

I think that sometimes the student just needs a one on one / ace to face with a tutor so that hey can see if they are reaching the student (I tutored long, long ago in Algebra) - and sometimes you just have to explain things in a way that a child can understand - and a computer medium can't do that I feel.

is this as effective?

I think it's up to the parents to decide what kind of tutoring help the child needs and find the right service to fit the child's needs.

Some children can't figure their way through a problem, and that's why they need the help. Others need a little guidance and can figure it out by themselves. All children are different.

Some children just need an extra confidence boost, to know that they are thinking along the right lines. If this is the case then online tutoring can be a great help.

It is hard for every child to learn online. I still prefer one to one to one lesson. That is much better for my kids

Just memorizing is not a very good way of learning. That is more like rot learning. The kid need to understand what he is learning.
