Can Online Tutoring Be As Effective As In-Person?
Of our 59 Google reviews, 22% have been submitted since Covid. All are 5-stars and demonstrate that online works. When a parent has concerns about online tutoring not being effective, Sheri, our Relationship Manager, encourages families to at least try it. LEAP doesn't require contracts of our clients, so they can always quit. Over the last year, only one client who tried online tutoring found that it didn't work well for their child. They cited too much screen time. I get it. Our hope as schools move back to in-person and we have all learned how to Zoom better is too much screen time will no longer be an issue. Why is this our hope? In addition to our data of improvements, our tutors actually prefer Zoom tutoring for 1:1.
