In the last few years we have seen technology in the IT world improve dramatically. Quicker internet connections in unison with improved processing speeds have seen increased browsing capabilities. In response to this improving technology there are many companies now offering tuition over the web, with the online maths tutor proving very popular. Below we examine five factors that are convincing many parents and students to go for online tuition over a private tutor.

Making a saving

As online tutors can deliver to many pupils at the same time, the providers are able to charge less per hour than a private tutor would cost. As a result an online maths tutor usually cost 30 – 40% less than hiring a private tutor.

Hassle free

Thanks to VIOP capabilities and interactive whiteboards the student can receive a high level of tuition without having to leave home. The convenience of this work on several levels; no need for parents to transport their child, to loss of time due to travel and classes can be arranged to suit.

Better tutors

Deciding on a traditional maths tutor can be problematic and there is no guarantee you will get the right one. In contrast you can be sure of a good level of service from providers of online tuition. The reason for this is that they are able to provide tutors with higher wages and thus attract better applicants for the position.

Customized tuition

Online tuition providers will monitor the performance and provide feedback. As a result parents and the student can target areas of weakness and attend relevant classes to remedy the problem.

Social interaction

Studies have demonstrated that pupils that undertake some group study in combination with one-on-one tuition receive the best results. With an online maths tutor both individual and group study are possible as the class can be split into smaller groups. Therefore each student is able to receive personalised guidance from the tutor in addition to working through problems in a group of three or four.
