Online Tutoring: Teaching Study Skills that Work

Though a student may earn an "easy A" once in a while, it certainly doesn't happen all the time. Struggling through difficult high school and college classes can mean long nights, stressful exam preparation, and frustrating study sessions. For a growing number of students, online tutoring is becoming a popular option for on-demand study help.

Math, science, and writing are some of the most frequently requested tutoring subjects, and dedicated tutors work diligently to help students succeed in these difficult courses. Tutoring services have long helped students attain better grades, higher test scores, and increased material retention. And though Web-based tutoring makes the process more convenient, students should be sure they're placing their academic future in the right hands.

Finding the Perfect Tutor
Choosing the right tutor isn't a one-size-fits-all process. Tutoring services sometimes specialize in different subjects, including test preparation for SAT and other standardized tests. The study process may vary among companies, and what works for one type of student may only frustrate another.

Before committing to one tutor, be sure to ask the following questions:

  • How many students are assigned to each tutor? If group tutoring seems appealing, be sure that the tutor won't be overwhelmed with too many students.
  • How do I know a tutor is qualified? Many companies require their tutors to pass training and certification programs before they are authorized to work.
  • What subjects are available? Look for tutoring programs that offer specific subject help--biology or chemistry over "science," for example.
  • What is the company's tutoring process? Students who learn best in an aural format might have trouble with online tutoring, while visual and verbal types may excel.
The Benefits of Online Tutoring
Because late-night cram sessions can result in more questions than answers, online tutoring groups often hold hours later than traditional study help services. Students may even be able to get help 24 hours a day in popular subjects. Math courses such as algebra, trigonometry, and calculus are some of the most requested services.

Even if instant help is not available, the online turnaround time for questions and essay reviews can be shorter than with a traditional academic tutor. As with traditional tutoring, students may also choose to schedule ongoing appointments. Regardless of the subject, students should come to the session with specific questions and problems: taking an active role in the learning process is the first key to success.
