By Julie Diamond, OCT

The COVID pandemic forced many reluctant students and teachers to use online as the only means for learning together. However, with the pandemic came drastic improvements to online platforms, including the platform our tutors use called The LessonSpace, and online tutoring offers numerous benefits that can enhance students' education over traditional in-person tutoring. 

Online tutoring allows students to learn from anywhere with Wi-Fi, giving them the flexibility to access lessons and resources at any time. It eliminates the need for lengthy travel times, providing an easier way to access instruction regardless of location. This allows students to maximize their study time while still getting the personalized support they need to reach their learning goals.
 
Additionally, online tutors can provide personalized instruction tailored to each student’s individual learning style. With a variety of tools and resources, it allows students to develop their knowledge in innovative ways through engaging instruction that is tailored to their individual needs.  Online tutors can utilize technology like interactive whiteboards and other digital educational tools that can enhance the learning experience and help students develop the necessary skills they need to excel in today's digital world.
 
By allowing students to take charge of their own learning, online tutoring provides them with a greater sense of agency and control over their educational development. It also provides students with access to a larger pool of qualified tutors who specialize in different topics and subject areas. Whether it’s math, history, science or language-learning, online tutoring allows students to find the perfect match for their needs and goals regardless of location.
 
Overall, online tutoring offers countless benefits that can make a real difference in students’ academic lives. It is convenient, resourceful, engaging and provides unparalleled access to qualified tutors from all around the world. For parents and students alike, the advantages of online tutoring are simply too good to pass up.
