The Telegraph published an article on Sunday 22nd January about the growth of e-tutoring titled ‘Facebook generation fuels boom in online tutors’. In this article they discussed e-tutoring with Sue Feildman, senior advisor at The Good Schools Guide, who has reviewed some of the current offerings from e-tutoring organisations with her daughter. She told the Telegraph,

“Online tutoring is a huge growth area. While parents often prefer the personal touch of a tutor coming to the house, youngsters are so wrapped up with technology that the only way a parent can persuade them to do any extra academic work is if it is done online.

“A teenager would rather work on a computer than be confronted face to face with a tutor in the living room.”

It’s great to see such positive comments about e-tutoring in the news. We have been offering e-tutoring, or online tuition as it is often known, to students for many years now but it is still not widely known about or fully understood among parents and students looking for tuition in the UK. We have seen so many students benefit from this teaching method and it’s great to see that the word is spreading.
