In this blog post, I will look at some of
the unique benefits offered by one-to - one online tutoring. I will also be
able to take a look at each one from my online
tutoring experiences and let you know what I think ...
“24/7 anytime, anywhere individualised
one-to-one instruction”
One argues that while face-to-face IP chemistry tuition may be effective,
there are aspects of the life of a student that may interfere with it. For
example, He cites part-time jobs or as two possible reasons those who have to
manage a family. Finding time to meet my ip
Chemistry and French tutors during the week was a little tricky from my
perspective – I worked a part-time job in a local supermarket on a Monday
night, Rugby practice was on a Tuesday ... You can see how it starts stacking
up. Did I always get it right? No, I can't say I've done that. I think, though,
that if I had taken online tutoring
or really knew about it at the time it would have helped me no end.
The availability of field experts
throughout the world enables students to get support whenever they need it and
does not involve "waiting around" for the next face-to-face session.
"Online learning is a logical
companion"
When he discusses online learning, the
first thing that jumps out at me is distance learning. This may mean that
learning assistants and facilities on a campus (in the case of higher
education) may not actually be enough to help chemistry students, according to him. More than 33 percent of all
higher education students in the Singapore are currently undertaking some kind
of online course, according to her research. It might be for remedial work, or
it might even be on their course as a module. It also represents more than 7
million Singaporean students, either
way – an amount that will triple in the next five years. Sitting down and doing
an online course is not that easy. Sometimes, therefore, some help in the form
of tutoring is a good idea – many people choose to go online to find that
support, appropriately enough.
It's really the best companion, because I
can send files and links to my tutor easily to help explain what I'm up to.
It's also useful if you don't get to hear too much from your instructor, as
support is always available.
“On Demand Efficiency”
The general idea behind this: if you don't
understand the basic concept of what you're talking about, you'll find it
rather hard to do the homework questions your teacher has put to you. Similarly,
if there's a problem that feeds on all the others and causes a few headaches,
you'll find it pretty hard to get it all finished.
The great thing about tutoring online is
that, according to him, it helps you to find help as you need it. You have to
wait for the next time you meet with a typical face-to-face tutoring – in the
sense of your week that can be good if it's not too far away. The probability,
however, is that it may be a while before you see them again.
You can just log in with the tuition teacher and quickly find
someone who can help you with that particular item. It doesn't have to be a
complete session either, you can easily ask someone to explain and bang it,
you're ready to take on that piece again.
“The Human Touch”
In this kind of thing, humans are better
than computers – I've always maintained that. A few years ago, I found definite
evidence that you can learn about what I discovered here, based on scientific
study. He cites the renowned academy as an example of computer-based tutorials
that may not work entirely, although they can offer help. Children, she notes,
can't always interpret the issues and figure out what the code tutorial is
trying to tell them in their own knowledge and understanding.
He adds that a professional human tutor is
much more engaging and instils faith – I'd be inclined to agree, having used
different computer-based systems at school to try and help with my research ...
only make more sense visiting a teacher or finding one online.
“Studies show students are more likely to
seek help online”
I feel on an odd occasion I would have been
a classic example of this – the thought of studying things on the Internet
would have been very enticing. Even if they speak to teachers, He suggests that
students are more likely to communicate with them online than they are actually
visiting them directly.
I'm not quite sure what it was like to sit
down in an office to talk to them, but you can see what I mean either way. Having
their email response in your inbox is just more comfortable than sitting down
and making a formal appointment with them. Students don't want to feel
threatened or embarrassed, and that's what makes tutoring more useful to students
online – they don't have to sit face-to-face and say "I don't get
it."
I'd have to agree with that – making it a
little more accessible from my experience sending an email.
Which makes tutoring online effective? What
are their advantages?
He looked at 350 different lessons to
collect tutoring-related comments and best practices – all selected randomly
from a pool likely to stretch into the thousands. Mazer decided to keep the
emphasis on the three core subjects – Maths, English and Science – in order to
ensure the most valuable information is collected.
With English, He focused purely on
something that everybody would do at school at some point in their time: the
process of composition and writing. This looked at how students create creative
writing pieces that range from spelling and grammar to structure and format.
He looked at three different areas of
mathematics to ensure she got the best combination possible. After all, while
composition-based English research is an ability that is slowly developed over
time, it is certainly a sound idea to have different levels of mathematics
across different topics.
He looked at the following for her surveys:
algebra 2 – algebra of high school, mid-level mathematics (defined by Him as '
remedial algebra ') and statistics of university. All three grades allow for
complex algebraic analysis of functions and the like, but also allow for much
more wordy numerical problems. Statistics research also allows the presence of
functions and more' pure' mathematics.
For Chemistry, he looked at the three core
sciences and a more geographic view of Chemistry: Chemistry (also a separate
study of organic chemistry, as you're talking about a wide field of study
otherwise!), Physics, Biology and Earth Sciences from experience.
The OLT company she analyzed, according to him,
used systematically vetted tutors to make sure they were competent and matched
rigorous industry standards. Ultimately, the OLT company understands what they
need to do to provide their tutors with high quality tutoring.
Some of the things included that were
checked and considered:
Vetting / Background checks – Obviously
this is something I think the industry is at the forefront – child safety.
Testing – A chemistry tutor must be competent in their work, of course, and
that is why Mazer emphasizes the importance of ensuring that tutors are well
versed in their field of specialization. We can't see how comprehensive these
studies are or what they entail, but it's not necessary to say for an OLT
company to be interested in such a study that we can be pretty sure you can't
just ' do it. '
Mentoring – Actually, it's not just the
students who can be mentored to achieve higher heights ... He refers to a
mentoring system to help tutors improve their approach and make sure students
get the best experience possible. It not only helps new tutors to adapt to what
is required of them and what expectations the company expects, but it also
encourages continuous development – tutoring as a career.
This is a great way to ensure not only a
high standard of IP chemistry tuition
but also practical consistency – maybe different tutors recycle the best
methods? At the end of the day, this adds some strength to the research – we
have not only set practices that we are trying to analyze, but we have reason
to suspect they are widely used. This means that the students ' survey results
are done using a level playing field – each student has been given
approximately the same tutoring standard – nice touch.
The 350-case study, as it forms the best
practices associated with tutoring, is something we will look at in later blog
posts.
He then looked at the data from the
feedback questions that the choice to fill out at the end of their session was
given to all students. The study measured what the students felt of their
on-site learning experience. The data used came from only the 2013 sessions.
At the end of the session, only 12% of
students responded to the feedback, but it still provided a surprising amount
of data ...
When asked about the general tutoring
service and if it allowed them to complete their homework, 18,455 students
responded. Ninety-six percent said yes and supported them.
When the service improved its grades,
17,970 responded – the percentage that said yes was the same. The lower
response rate could be explained by the fact that many students are not sure
whether their grades will improve until their results are received – we don't
know when this data was collected within the academic year.
When asked if they felt more confident
about their homework because of the use of the service, 18,075 responded – this
time the ' yes ' percentage was 97 percent.
We should take this answer with a little
more care as they've just completed a session and maybe a little swayed by the
results of their session.
Students were also asked to assess the
session they had just had, with a response rate of 37%.
- Excellent – 43,855 responses – 79.8%
- Very Good – 5,937 responses – 10.8%
- Good – 2,505 responses – 4.6%
- Fair – 1,110 responses – 2%
- Other – 1,533 responses – 2.8%.
Tutoring, particularly for those without
extensive teaching experience, can be difficult. Virtual tutoring poses
problems of its own when you are separated from the student by space. But
tutoring methods are proven to work, and experts who have studied best practice
in online tutoring have recommended them.
We think this report is interesting and
have devoted this blog post to reviewing in depth what reflects the 5 best
practice areas and giving you some suggestions for improving your online
tutoring effectiveness.
So what's got to say the research?
1. Pre-assessment
The first step is to understand what is and
is not capable of a student. There are two key ways to do this:
A quick test of the syllabus or chemistry tuition class was performed
by the best tutors to understand where the student needed help and how
comfortable they were with. This allows you to prioritize different topics over
others while making a plan that allows you to cover other topics.
When learning what a student is capable of,
tutors have looked at the different areas of course material to explain what
they are dealing with – is the curriculum targeted at theoretical concepts or
are the questions more contextualized?
2. Active learning through guided
inquiry, guided coaching or scaffolding
Guiding or coaching a student through a
learning process is seen as an effective tutoring ' gold standard. ' While some
students are going to go to a school teacher just searching for the
answer to their problem, the best tutors are going to take the time to explain
things to them while encouraging the student to come to their own conclusions
about what the answer is.
It is possible to help a student shape
steps and processes in their heads by using prompts and leading questions that
can enhance their understanding of a particular subject. It not only helps to
update their previous knowledge, but it also allows them to understand the new
steps they must take.
Suggestion: When a student comes to you with
a specific question, inform them of the steps they'd take to get to a certain
level, like where they'd stopped. Understand their method of thought and how
they reached that stage before trying to push them with these leading questions
a little further. In turn, it will help you realize how they're fighting and
then correct them. Give them another example to make sure they fully understand
what they need to do to be successful.
3. Work at the correct level
The best tutors, as we have already
described, know where the problem lies with their student. This enables you to
tailor your tutoring according to your needs. You can better help a student by
using different issues of varying difficulty – you can function at the
appropriate level.
The assessment should not end there, though
– you should be able to take some time every so often to find out how well they
are doing. Can you go on a little bit more testing? Do you have to go over
stuff again?
Taking time to periodically evaluate how a
student is doing helps you to monitor momentum more effectively so they don't
feel lost – you can always go back and spend more time on foundation topics if
you need to, and slowly tackle harder issues with can speed and efficiency.
Suggestion: Review your student's
development on a regular basis. You want to make sure they understand what
they're doing and you want them to be challenged and use all their skills at
the same time. Maybe every so often, during successive progress assessments,
they throw the same question at them – perhaps the second time they will be
able to grasp a trickier one better.
4. Get the student to explain
their workings
Remember when an instructor or test said '
show you're working at class! ‘You always get credit for showing me how you got
a reply, even if it was the wrong final reply. Asking a student to show their
work will help you understand their process of thinking – if the answer is not
spot-on, you can stop them and point out an error and then they can make their
correction. You'll help them become more and more confident in showing what
they're doing by getting them to demonstrate some reasoning.
If they are right, it will give them a
boost and serve as an incentive. If they're wrong, if they give you an
opportunity to point out the mistakes and reassure them.
Suggestion: Ask them to work through the
steps they have taken – don't just ask for their answer and tell them that they
are right / wrong! Just ask for the answer at the end of the question – that
means you can listen to each step without being dismissed from the start about
their answer.
5. Instructional Explanation
One of the best ways to help reinforce the
material they are learning is by going step-by-step to sit down and go through
something. Giving them a set of instructions to follow is a good way to do this
– a kind of process they can use time and time again. This will become second
nature with sufficient practice. The concept of guidance is more suitable for
mathematics and processes of seeking an answer to, say, an equation, but it can
also be extended easily to other subjects.
Suggestion: Explain how to do something
with a basic set of instructions for something they are dealing with or looking
at something different. The best way to illustrate this is to go through a
problem as you do it, telling them to get involved and figure out something
along the way at different points.
To ensure that you get the most out of IP chemistry tuition – after all, it's
an hour of your life and the money you spend (or your parents ') – follow these
tips to make sure you maximize your learning.
- Write it in your file. Set your phone (or your parent!) to warn you an hour before your tutorial time and ten minutes before.
- Sign in early at least five minutes. It's tempting to wait until the last minute to sign in, but when we least need them, we all know that machines can throw up crashes. Give yourself an extra five minutes ' grace so you don't waste your tutorial time when you suddenly find that you need to reset a password, load your computer and mislaid the tray, or your operating system is in the midst of an upgrade. Then you can start to feel relaxed and focus on getting the most out of the tutorial.
- Center all your energy. Which means yes, I'm sorry! – Turn your phone off and make sure that you're logged out of anything on the computer that might annoy you – Snapchat, Burn Note, Tumblr, Tinder, WhatsApp, Twitter, or even good old Facebook – shut down for now.
We have given you a full guide to better
your online tutoring of IP chemistry
tuition, we hope after reading this guide, you will have a detail outlook
of online tutoring. This article serves to both kind of audience, who wants to
start online tutoring and who is on the process of choosing online tutoring.
