Online Tutoring is Education Reform

Hi All,

I thank all of you for your feed backs and  positive motivation to write more blogs on ONLINE TUTORING. I would like to elaborate more on facts of online tutoring.

Below is the charts that show how much government of following countries spend on Secondary Eduction (per student)


 




Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development, Education at a Glance, 2004.
This graph shows that on secondary education (per student) the United States spends more than 17 other nations.
Federal funding of education in USA has increased from 42.2 billion dollars in 2001 to 54.4 billion dollars in 2007. 



Federal Funding for Education


Issue Brief and Resources

National School Board Association primarily advocates for increases to two federal programs that are the largest sources of federal funding to school districts and also operate as mandates:

  • Title I grants: The main source of federal funding for the No Child Left Behind (NCLB) Act
  • IDEA grants: Special education funding under the Individuals With Disabilities Education Act (IDEA)
Federal funding for elementary and secondary education programs has remained nearly flat from FY2005 to FY2007 because of a shift in budget priorities and a perpetual gridlock of recent Congressional appropriations processes.



NCLB - NO CHILD LEFT BEHIND 



Under President George W. Bush, the Department primarily focused on elementary and secondary education, expanding its reach through the "No Child Left Behind" law.








NCLB supports standards-based education reform, which is based on the belief that setting high standards and establishing measurable goals can improve individual outcomes in education. The Act requires states to develop assessments in basic skills to be given to all students in certain grades, if those states are to receive federal funding for schools. The Act does not assert a national achievement standard; standards are set by each individual state.

I wish best luck to the Indian students to get the benefit of online tutoring soon.


Happy Tutoring!!!

Online Tutoring Experience

Hi All,

This write up is for the tutors who are passionate for teaching and helping students across the globe and for the students who hesitate to learn online.

Teaching in a classroom and online are very different experiences and I have found both of them interesting in different ways.

While tutoring at home, its nothing new, the same years old traditional classroom and a tutor (me), the ambiance is quite serious. Though I try to make it interactive and fun way to learn Overcoming Math Anxiety but it is quite formal. While tutoring online involves digital whiteboard may be Wiziq, Twiddla, Elluminate, or others which are colorful and has many tools, using those tools we can teach, and students can learn effectively. Moreover the voice chat makes its much interactive. Students and tutors are comfortable at their own houses and e-Learning makes it informal way of Learning.
Initially, it took me time to understand whether a student is listening to what I am tutoring, or he is busy chatting with friends, the student is really understanding what I am teaching or he/she is just saying "yes", but now after years of experience i can feel the confidence in their voice and judge if they are really getting the concept or not.
Interacting with students round the globe and helping them with their difficulties made me achieve my personal goals.
I have helped my students in math, science & computer science, in their school projects and assignments and found them quite satisfied. This makes me realize that teaching at home or online are both equally interesting but are completely different ways to reach your students.
Initially, its difficult to gain concentration of your student but after few sessions, you understand your student and you know how to deal with every student differently.
So those tutors who are passionate for teaching should try online tutoring and students who hesitate to get help online should try once and then, decide if e-learning is as effective as classroom tutoring or not.
