10 reasons why online learning is beneficial
1 – Accessibility
We at Tutopiya coordinate with our students’ schedules to find lesson times that work best for your child. We understand that kids are extremely busy these days with sports and other extracurricular activities. Which makes it hard for students to find the right balance between studying and extracurricular activities.
Therefore, with a live, online learning platform like Tutopiya, your student can arrange to meet with their tutor when they have the time during their day. This flexibility also helps parents by eliminating the need to coordinate more transportation into the evening.
2 – Technology
Though the classroom setting has been used for ages, it’s often not the most productive environment for a student to learn. Kids tend to absorb information and perform more strongly in a conducive environment, free of distraction.
Tutopiya uses a whiteboard classroom technology where both student and teacher can upload and work on a lesson together. They’re also granted undivided attention from their online tutor, whereas students in a classroom often have to compete for time.
3 – Resources readily available for your child
One of the benefits you and your child will gain from Tutopiya is that it’s available anytime and anywhere. Students can access the library of study sheets, quizzes, practice tests, assignments, and more 24/7.
A traditional tutoring program would require an in-person session to have access to new study materials, whereas online learning, makes all materials available in just one click. Upon completion of the study exercises, the tutor can assess the student’s progress virtually. Allowing them to advance to the next level easily and seamlessly.
4 – Increased learning progress and effectiveness
The accessibility of Tutopiya’s learning materials is that it allows students to progress quickly. Tutopiya will be assessing all students’ progress by giving each assignment and assessment of the chapters completed within a given period of time. This allows parents to ensure that their child is benefitting from the program in the way you intended.
If your child is facing any difficulty in a certain topic, we can address them quickly so your child does not spend too much time learning the concepts they are already familiar with. Therefore, the assessments will be carried out in order to make sure your child practices the areas needed.
We also ensure that we leave your child with no doubts about the topics. Mastery of concepts is a huge aspect of our tuition lessons here. Building a strong foundation will go a long way for your child. Tutopiya ensures our tutors are able to spot your child’s weaknesses and close up any knowledge gaps as soon as possible.
5 – Engagement with online learning
With the growing reliance on digital communication, digital proficiency has become increasingly important. By interacting with the digital tutoring system, your child will become fluent in digital engagement, which will be beneficial in the long run. High digital proficiency is something almost every employer will look for in an applicant. Though your child may be far away from a job, it’s never too early to hone those skills.
6 – Boost confidence due to online learning
When students succeed, they have reason to believe in themselves. If they’re not getting the support they need, they won’t succeed. Tutopiya provides that support so your child will understand the feeling of concept mastery, and be confident in their full potential to learn more.
The resources and exercises offered by Tutopiya go beyond surface-level academics and teach proficiency in problem-solving, critical thinking, reasoning, and reading comprehension. By understanding the process of problem-solving, students are positioning themselves to succeed in academic endeavours far beyond school.
7 – Relief for parents with online tutoring
As much as parents want to see their children succeed, and help them along the way, it’s hard to continue working after a day on the go. Coordinating activities, carpools, meals, practices, and more is a job in itself. Adding homework to that list can be a huge challenge. But not if you have additional help waiting online.
Tutopiya’s tutors can alleviate the stress you may feel about not being adequately prepared to help your child understand his or her homework. With their expert knowledge, they can help explain complex concepts in a digestible way, saving you and your child from frustration.
8 – Clearing of doubts confidently while learning online
Raising your hand can be one of the most intimidating parts of the classroom experience. Especially when you get an answer wrong, it could be incredibly embarrassing. In the comfort of your home, students never have to hesitate to ask questions. They are their own audience, with no one but their tutor listening in. They are aware that the tutor is there to guide and help them, assuring them that all their questions and doubts are valid questions.
Part of your child’s difficulty in school could be a lack of understanding due to a lack of question-asking. More often than not, your child may be too shy to ask a question in class, and their doubts may start to pile up and could snowball into something bigger than “a few doubts”. If these doubts do not get answered, it may affect their learning for preceding chapters, hindering their learning progress. Hence, with just a few honest questions, your child may be on the road to subject mastery.
9 – Learning pace
Classroom curriculums are designed to be followed, whether or not each student is on the same page. Delaying one lesson for the sake of one student could throw off a teacher’s entire plan. More often than not, the learning plan is tight due to the curriculum. Our curriculums have to be completed before the start of the examinations. Hence, many teachers may speed through the last few topics in order to cover all the topics tested.
Having a tutor will help your child to have additional time and resources to pace their learning and keep up with the curriculum, leaving them with no doubts. Tutopiya’s graduate tutors will work at the pace of your student to make sure they’re keeping up and on track to understanding each lesson.
10 – Reassurance
A love of learning is hard to teach, but with patience and understanding, online tutors can help foster it within your child. Having this foundation will set them up for success both immediately and also far in the future. Having a dedicated, expert, online tutor to guide your child through challenging subjects provides reassurance that any roadblock can be removed with proper support. Tutopiya allows you to check-in and makes sure your child is heading down the right path.
