US Online Tutoring Reviews

Our US Online Tutoring Reviews give worried students and parents all the information they need to know about a range of services currently on the market to help improve students’ grades and prepare them for public examinations. Whether you’re concerned about college admission, exam performance or simply looking to bolster your child’s confidence a little as they move through formal education, Online Tutoring services can provide a cost-effective, efficient and safe solution to what is normally considered a costly problem. While the content, focus and quality of these services differs considerably from service to service, No.1 Reviews is on hand as usual to provide you with all of the information you need to make an informed choice.

Online tutoring is generally undertaken through a range of communicative means including webcam, webchat, instant messaging, internet-phone and, in recent times, through interactive ‘virtual whiteboard’ environments. Students interact directly with expert tutors (who are also more often than not qualified teachers) who can introduce them to new concepts, develop their knowledge and address problems at the learner’s pace. Services in this category normally offer general support in a range of curriculum subjects, but occasionally services specialise in offering only specific subject tuition or tuition catering to specific grades or levels, so it’s worth checking out precisely what’s on offer before signing up. Almost all of the services we have reviewed in this category go the extra mile by providing students with a range of excellent resources that help to supplement their learning outside of the “tutor-tutee” environment.

Our favorite service in this category has to be TutorVista, a clear winner of our No.1 Choice Award in the US Online Tutoring category. With more than 6.5 million tutoring sessions having already been completed, TutorVista has been featured on NBC's The Today Show and on BBC News and is widely thought of as the most affordable way to provide your children with private, one-to-one tuition. We particularly loved the interactive whiteboard technology that lets users of all ages work through problems, simulations and assessments in a way that helps them build their confidence and their communication skills (as well as providing subject-based support). With a vast number of traditional subjects covered, from kindergarten right up to 12th grade and beyond, TutorVista has to be your first stop in finding a suitable online tutor for your child.

Although TutorVista takes the crown in this category, there were a number of other services that stood out when we reviewed this category. The rather simply-named Tutor.com offers tuition across a broad range of subjects and levels (though at price a little less pocket-friendly than others) while eTutor and eTutorWorld offer more specific support for a more focused set of subjects.
