Differences Between Email Online Tutoring and Live Tutoring
Depending on the level of difficultly your child is experiencing in a subject, you may want to decide whether
e-mail tutoring or live tutoring is the right way to go. Both have good points, but both have their cons, as
well.
Online Tutoring By E-mail
The way it works is the student simply sends a question about a particular subject over e-mail. It can be a simple
question all the way to facts needed for a term paper or to answer a chemistry project. It is best to look for a
specialized e-mail tutoring service for your particular needs, as a writing tutor getting an e-mail about an
advanced physics question would not provide you with the assistance necessary. Normally an answer is not provided,
per se, but the resources to find the answer to the question are provided back.
Many times e-mail tutoring is free! This is a big draw for this type of online tutoring service. Public libraries,
colleges and universities have recognized the need and benefits of this type of help and are willing to cover the
cost to provide it.
A negative when it comes to this type of tutoring is that answers can take up to 2 days to arrive in the e-mail
inbox. When you are working on math problems that are due the next day, having to wait for your homework help is
not an option. The only way e-mail tutoring is effective is when the student asking the question has time to wait
on the answers.
Live Online Tutoring
It is amazing how with just a computer and an internet connection, you can get your child tutoring help at any time
from anywhere! That is how online tutoring works live. Using programs like Instant Messenger, this kind of tutoring
occurs in real-time.
Students can log into the tutoring service and be connected to qualified education specialists around the globe.
Even at midnight, students will be able to find the help they need in most, if not all, subject areas. Immediate
conversation can begin, with questions being asked and answers being giving.
A negative when it comes to this type of online tutoring is that it can become a costly endeavor. Some online
tutors make up to $40 an hour, which is not including the fee of the company you find the tutor through. However,
the immediate help in a variety of subjects may made the price of live online tutoring well worth it!
