Assess student's comfort with computers. The Tutor NetMeets with student and parents or teacher, reviews technical information and sets schedule. The tutor, together with student, identifies a course of study based on agreed-upon learning objectives and strategies. This plan will include a forecast of the number of tutoring sessions and what will be covered. Our goal is to match an area of need with an area of student interest.
Individualized instruction provides the greatest opportunity for transfer of knowledge.
A trained tutor can provide instruction tailored to the student's specific needs, interests, and learning styles. Computer-based instruction is more effective than traditional forms of instruction. There is an abundance of research to support why computers are an effective way of teaching, especially for students with learning difficulties. Computers are forgiving. Traditional instruction using printed words in books is also limited by the learning styles that are used.
