What is online tutoring?
Online tutoring is the method of providing help to students by instruction outside of class with the help of computers and internet. In online tutoring, student(s) and teacher(s) interact with each other by means of chat, white board application, email etc with the help of computers connected to the internet. It can be defined as teaching, support, management and assessment of students on programs of study that involve a significant use of online technologies.
What benefits do I have with online tutoring over traditional tutoring?
Online tutoring is convenient and cost-effective. You don't have to take your child to his/her tutor driving all the way during the rush hours and your child gets the same personal attention from our highly qulaified professionals at a much lower rate compared to traditional tutoring.
How much one to one is your program?
Our programs are 100% one to one. We treat each student specially and individually and your child will be interacting with one tutor at a time. We don't switch tutors between sessions so next time your child comes for the session, s/he will be interacting with the same teacher who knows your child better.
Do you provide any hardware as a part of the course?
Yes. We send the students a hardware kit for each student to be able to interact with the tutors effectively and to the maximum. Upon sign-up, we will provide a starter kit which includes a headset/microphone combo,a digital writing pad, and a digital pencil.
Can I have a demo?
Ofcourse. You can request for a demo through our demo page and have a look at the sophisticated software that will be used.
Do you provide any Free Trials?
Yes, we do. You can request for a free trial through our contact page and have a free trial for one month.
How can I get started with your service?
To get started with us, you need to register with the site first. After you signup, we send you the necessary hardware kit to get started. If yuo run into technical problems, our support team can help you.
What is an instructor-led course?
Just like a traditional course, your online course has an instructor. He or she develops the curriculum, conducts the class, gives the assignments, answers questions, leads discussions, and assigns grades.
What is an instructor-facilitated course?
Learn at your own pace with the guidance of a course guide. Course videos and textbooks are delivered directly to you. Online discussions allow you to share ideas with other enrolled students. Evaluator feedback on your assignments is provided.
What is a self-paced course?
Often referred to as independent study, self-paced courses allow you to work on your own in a non-classroom setting. There are no instructors and most courses do not have a start and end date.
What kind of computer or other hardware do I need?
Any PC or Macintosh computer will be fine. You'll also need a modem and a connection to the Internet.
Will I need to buy and learn to use complicated software?
We provide all the software you'll need free of charge. It's designed especially for online learning and allows anyone with even basic computer skills to be up and running in no time. In addition, you'll receive a free online orientation in advance, to assure that you're completely up to speed when your class begins.
Who will help me if I run into a technical problem?
Every course has its own Course Manager who is your primary contact for questions or problems that involve the mechanics of taking your class. Our extensive online resources will quickly resolve most situations that come up, but if you need additional help, your Course Manager is always close at hand. In addition, there is free technical support available by phone.
What is a whiteboard?
A white board is an area on a display screen that multiple users can write or draw on. Whiteboards are a principal component of teleconferencing applications because they enable visual as well as audio communication. In a whiteboard application each participant can add text, make drawings or paste pictures etc. Other participants can immediately see the result on their workstation. Each participant can make a local printout or save the contents of the whiteboard to a disk file for later reference.
