The Web gives kids control. Online tutoring can be the perfect solution for parents who teach their children at home. The curriculum doesn't have to be limited to what Mom and Dad know. Of course, online tutoring has its limits. It can't help students overcome learning disorders such as dyslexia or help students who aren't motivated to learn.
Most online tutors use a combination of tools to communicate.
E-mail is used to send papers to tutors and for tutors to send students back graded assignments. Many also use chat rooms. Parents who are concerned about a tutor's background can deal with only those teachers who have passed a background check. These are group sessions primarily for high school students and cover subjects like chemistry, trigonometry and biology. Coursework can be applied toward a high school diploma from the North Dakota Division of Independent Study.
