tutor will contact you and send you their questions or
assignments. |
| 2) What is live
online tutoring? |
| Live Online tutoring
is another approach for students and tutors to conduct
tutoring sessions through the use of online messaging
platforms. With today's technology, tutors are not restricted
to use a specific online tutoring platform presented by
a third party who collects a fee for providing such service.
Many instant messaging platforms including our favorites
Microsoft
Netmeeting or MSN

file sharing, application sharing and whiteboard. They
are free to download and easy to use. You can conduct
tutoring sessions with anyone anywhere using these platforms
providing that your students have the same platform. |
