Understanding the Concept of Online
Tutoring
Author: Mike Nicholson
According to Wikipedia Online
tutoring refers to the process by which knowledge is imparted from a
tutor, knowledge provider or expert to a student or knowledge
recipient over the Internet.
Online tutoring has gained unexpected popularity and the primary
reason is the ever increasing usage of computers worldwide. Online
tutoring works much the same way as the traditional one to one
physical tutoring does.
With increased connection and data transfer speed students and
tutors can now engage online at the same time as in a physical
classroom. Using some advanced technology, tutors can present
material on their computer to students allowing students and tutors
to work on the material on a whiteboard at the same time. The
whiteboard is nothing but an online version of physical classroom
blackboard and allows the tutor and student to write on the board in
real-time.
Good online tutoring services offer a whiteboard so words can be
written in freehand or illustrations can be drawn with the help of
mouse or keyboard. Some of the online tutoring service providers
also offer voice over IP. This means both the student and tutor can
speak through the computer as long as both have a microphone and
speakers.
When students are engaged in true online tutoring, they will feel
like they are interacting with the professional teaching them.
Online tutoring sessions will occur in “real time”, meaning
questions of the students are answered immediately by the
professional. That means you have complete control over the tutoring
session whether it is the subject matter or the pace of tutoring.
