What is a shared whiteboard? |
A whiteboard is a white rectangular area
on a computer screen, on which we can write or draw using a digital pencil. A
digital writing pad - a tablet with the size of a mouse pad, and a digital
pencil - a mouse which looks like a pen, are used to simulate the experience of
writing with a pencil.

How many hours of tutoring are recommended per month? |
In general, two hours of one-on-one
tutoring is recommended per week. However, if a child's academic advisor finds
that extra hours are needed, the child will be advised accordingly to take
additional lessons.

"But I don't think my son/daughter etc would maintain
concentration"
|
There's no difference between online and
face-to-face in this respect. The tutor is still present and 'live' and is
fully aware of a student not participating. The main advantage is that the
tutor can pull the plug on the lesson early if deemed appropriate whereas in a
face-to-face session the tutor will expect payment for the full, booked lesson
regardless of whether it was terminated early or not. An experienced tutor
should be just as capable of keeping control over the 'net as they would in
person.
