Remote Tutoring

It is often a struggle for families to make the commitment and sustain the stamina required to enhance their child's education through private instruction. Finding a specialist that is a proper fit for the child can be nearly impossible when proximity is an issue. With remote tutoring options, families have more flexibility in their child's tutoring schedule. Students may see the instructor in the office for given sessions and then rely on off-site instruction when the demands of life make it difficult to get to the office. It may be necessary for some students to receive their instruction through a model that is exclusively online. No matter the circumstances, off-site tutoring expands the options for students who are in need of additional support. Furthermore, remote tutoring provides more options in terms of hiring a qualified professional:  location is no longer an obstacle. Students can receive one on one tutoring from a certified specialist in the convenience of their home.

MtED utilizes a robust video conferencing software package called Zoom. Zoom is free to download, easy to use, and allows the MtET educator to connect both visually and auditorily to the student via a video conferencing, web-based program. This format provides a platform that employs screen sharing and interactivity in even the most remote locations.
