Through sharing with you my personal experience in online tutoring in this workshop, the greenhorn mistakes I made and lessons I've learnt (the hard way), as well as best practices, techniques and tips I've picked up, I aim to make your entry into online tutoring much easier, so that you can reap the benefits more quickly.My own experience of "why teach online?"
Tutors earn double with the same or shorter working hours: Huge cost savings in venue rental and travel expenses. Travel time saved can be used to teach more students and earn more money instead. (I'll show you how lucrative yet convenient a typical day for me can be during peak tuition season before exams.)
Students' grades improve: Convenient online access to tutors during the week, homework support
Parents are happier: More timely and convenient parent-teacher communication. Children are at home more often.
