Will online tutoring work for my child?
Why online tutoring works so well
Online tutoring can feel unfamiliar at first. You might wonder whether your child will be able to concentrate or whether they can build the same warm, supportive relationship with their online tutor as they would in person. These are completely valid concerns, and at Beatrix Woodhead & Associates, the evidence and experience speak for themselves.
Since the COVID-19 pandemic, online tutoring has evolved from a necessity into one of the most effective, flexible, and popular ways for students to learn. Thousands of families have discovered the benefits first-hand and experienced the significant difference it can make to their child’s progress and confidence.
Access to a wider choice of experienced and specialist tutors
Perhaps the biggest advantage of online tutoring is the flexibility to choose the best possible tutor, wherever they are in the UK. Online tutoring can be particularly beneficial to families living overseas.
Whether your child needs a specialist who understands a particular learning difficulty, support in a niche subject, or simply a highly engaging and experienced teacher, online tutoring opens up that choice. You’re no longer limited by geography and are free to select the right tutor and learning environment for your child’s needs and personality.
Online tutoring is convenient and time-efficient
Online lessons also make family life simpler. With no travel time required, no need to host a tutor at home, and no last-minute rush to tidy a space or print out resources. All your child needs to do is log in and get started. This convenience means more consistency, and consistency is one of the most important factors in academic improvement.
Engaging, interactive learning
Thanks to technology, online sessions are now just as dynamic and interactive as face-to-face lessons. Tutors use platforms like Zoom, Google Classroom or Teams to share screens, videos, and interactive exercises, while digital whiteboards and shared documents allow tutors and students to collaborate in real-time. A skilled tutor can create an experience that feels seamless, personal, and highly engaging.
The results speak for themselves
Our tutors have seen countless students flourish through online learning, often exceeding their previous levels of engagement and performance. For many families, online tutoring turns out to be not just a practical solution, but a genuinely better fit.
If you’re unsure whether online tutoring would work for your child, we’d be happy to talk it through with you. Every student is different, and with the right setup, online tutoring could offer the flexibility, focus, and support your child needs to thrive.
